had already read Dean Koontz's fifth novel featuring Odd Thomas, ODD APPOCOLYPSE, when I came across ODD INTERLUDE 1, 2, and 3. These short e-books combine to tell of an adventure Odd has just after saving the world from nuclear holocaust in book 4 and before arriving at Roseland in book five.Odd and pregnant and mysterious Annamarie are traveling when they pull into a gas station/diner/lodge called Harmony Corner. Obviously something isn't right there. Odd knows it, and Annamarie knows it too. Odd feels called to the place, and knows he won't leave until he confronts the evil that exists there.The Harmony family has run the business for years, but five years ago, something very strange happened. Twelve-year-old Jolie Ann Harmony joins Odd in the quest to save her family, and all of those trapped in Harmony Corner.This story is fun and quick. You have to buy all 3 parts to get the full story. The one complaint I have is that Odd doesn't see any dead people. That was supposed to be his main talent. So, while he is still the same character, the story could have been told in any other Koontz novel or story.One highlight for me was that Harmony Corner backs up to the town of Moonlight Bay and Fort Wyvern, two locations featured about ten years ago in the Koontz novels featuring Christopher Snow. Snow doesn't make an appearance, but some of the mythology from those books do.Koontz fans should enjoy this nice little story featuring Odd Thomas.
