Dean Koontz is an international household name whose novels have sold many millions of copies worldwide and have appeared on national and international bestseller lists, selling millions of copies each year. He lives with his wife Gerda, their dog Anna and the enduring spirit of their dog Trixie in southern California.
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.
