Summary

2022 SOVAS Award Winner for Best Voiceover Audiobook Narration—Thriller

#1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz takes a surprising and exhilarating road trip with a man in pursuit of his strange past—mile by frightening mile.

Quinn Quicksilver was born a mystery—abandoned at three days old on a desert highway in Arizona. Raised in an orphanage, never knowing his parents, Quinn had a happy if unexceptional life. Until the day of “strange magnetism.” It compelled him to drive out to the middle of nowhere. It helped him find a coin worth a lot of money. And it practically saved his life when two government agents showed up in the diner in pursuit of him. Now Quinn is on the run from those agents and who knows what else, fleeing for his life.

During a shoot-out at a forlorn dude ranch, he finally meets his destined companions: Bridget Rainking, a beauty as gifted in foresight as she is with firearms, and her grandpa Sparky, a romance novelist with an unusual past. Bridget knows what it’s like to be Quinn. She’s hunted, too. The only way to stay alive is to keep moving.

Barreling through the Sonoran Desert, the formidable trio is impelled by that same inexplicable magnetism toward the inevitable. With every deeply disturbing mile, something sinister is in the rearview—an enemy that is more than a match for Quinn. Even as he discovers within himself resources that are every bit as scary.

Critic reviews

“Narrator Todd Haberkorn really gets into the characters, all of whom he gives drastically different voices that fit their personalities. It's as if he is a cast of multiple people.… Haberkorn's entertaining narration guides the listener as Quinn and company desperately try to stay ahead of a sociopathic force.”AudioFile Magazine

“Todd Haberkorn, who narrates and performs the novel, does a fine job of adjusting his voice as Quinn ages. A child's simple gratitude, a young man's wanderlust, a woman's heartache, and an old man's experience all give listeners a clear aural sense of which character is speaking. Koontz's fans will enjoy the familiarity of the novel, while new listeners will enjoy the plot.”—Library Journal

“As an author, Dean Koontz is one of the very best when it comes to a riveting novel of mystery, suspense, and action. Quicksilver…narrated by impressive storytelling skills of Todd Haberkorn, will be treasured by the legions of Dean Koontz fans.”Midwest Book Review

Too Preachy

Oh dear. This started out well, but it became so weird. Just a lot of horrific actions by baddies, then explaining why killing them was good and righteous. An overly religious story. Kind of all over the place too. Strange superpowers that don’t make sense and are not believable. Why spend chapter after chapter with an alien conspiracy character if it doesn’t pertain to the plot? Unanswered questions galore in this story. The big mystery of parental DNA goes no where, as though the author couldn’t decide on science or religion for the theme, so just threw in both and everything else preposterous too.

Just more rubbish

Not going into what’s wrong with this book. Too much to say. What I will say is that both Dean Koontz and Stephen King should STOP WRITING DRIVEL and retire. Their brains are tired and nothing fresh is coming from their imagination. It’s tired. Don’t waste your money on this when there is so much young fresh talent out there. This is just money for nothing. Robbery in fact. I gave the reader 3 stars what could he have done with this? Bravo for trying

Disappointing regurgitated tosh!

Try earlier titles.This effort was asking far too much from a suspension of disbelief.Incredulous,even for the talented Mr Koontz.

Dean Koontz

Well I have a lot of Deans books in my library but this book is really poor.
I am sorry to leave a review so poor but had to express the disappointment

not your usual Dean Koontz

way too much internal dialogue. its almost like it's not a Dean Koontz story or something from his very early work. probably one of his only stories I rushed to finish and was glad it was done. hate to write such a damning review but it was torture for me knowing his other works.

Another triumph... Funny and addictive

I have been a fan since my teens in the 80s and he had never let me down. The more recent books in these past 5 years have been fantastic, always coming up with fabulous storyline that keep me hooked and wishing they didn't have to end.

Wow! What a Story!!

I absolutely loved this book!! Dean Koontz at his absolute best!! Such an amazing and surprising storyline with very interesting characters and very well narrated! I have heard it may be the start of a series and I hope that’s right as there are lots of places this story could go - parentage of characters being just one so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
