Synopsis

A storm struck on the night Laura Shane was born, and there was a strangeness about the weather that people would remember for years. But even more mysterious was the blond-haired stranger who appeared out of nowhere – the man who saved Laura from a fatal delivery. Years later – another bolt of lightning – and the stranger returned, again to save Laura from tragedy. Was he the guardian angel he seemed? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond time and space?

From AudioFile:

Koontz, the master of horror, demonstrates his talent for science fiction and romance. The story of Laura Shane and Stefan Krieger, her guardian angel, is a riveting and surprisingly thoughtful departure from the authors thrillers. By the end, listeners are actively pondering its paradoxes and the what-ifs of time-travel. Narrator Christopher Lane uses a style as gripping as Koontzs, especially in his rich portrayals of Shane and Krieger. Lanes skill is also evident in the secondary characters, from the egomaniacal Adolf Hitler to the confident Winston Churchill. In depicting Shanes son, Lane projects an infectious childlike enthusiasm that makes listeners smile. D.J.S.
