Summary
Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Best Male Narrator with an afterword read by the author
A “superior thriller” (Oakland Press) about a man, a dog, and a terrifying threat that could only have come from the imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz - nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
On his thirty-sixth birthday, Travis Cornell hikes into the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. But his path is soon blocked by a bedraggled Golden Retriever who will let him go no further into the dark woods.
That morning, Travis had been desperate to find some happiness in his lonely, seemingly cursed life. What he finds is a dog of alarming intelligence that soon leads him into a relentless storm of mankind’s darkest creation....
Critic reviews
“His best story yet! Cross Lassie with E.T., add a touch of The Wolfen and a dash of The Godfather, and you get a sense of some of the ingredients in this thriller....this is the sort of thoroughly frightening and entertaining tale that has its readers listening for noises in the night.” --Publishers Weekly
“His best ever, an imaginative and unusual blend of sense and sentiment. A fable about love and trust...with echoes of Frankenstein and The Island of Dr. Moreau. A breakthrough for Koontz.” --Kirkus Reviews
“Displaying...more depth and a lot more humor than Stephen King, Dean Koontz has really hit his stride.” --The New York Times Book Review

Who doesn’t love clever dogs?
This is a great story. If not listened to anything by Dean Koontz before, so didn’t know what to expect, but the plot twists & turns so much, that it remains edge of seat stuff, from beginning to end.
I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Fantastic
What a great story! Gripping from start to finish and the narrator was spot on. Hopefully will find more like from both dean / narrator as both have found a new fan.

For dog lovers
This was an exceedingly good story. Don’t be put off if you predict the ending. The author’s passages about the dog are just so well done. For the last three hours of this audio make sure you are not interrupted because you will have to listen right to the end.

Fantastic book
My first Dean Koontz book, a story that has made me laugh on the train listening to the audio book, made me think of my life and cry. Looking forward to listening other Dean Koontz books.

My favourite book is now my favourite audio book!
Loved this book for over 25 years and have read it many times. Was worried I would struggle with an audio book of a story I knew so well but it is fantastic. So well read. Loved every second. And the extra bit with Dean at the end was lovely

Just a great story, well told
Yes, it is a bit unbelievable in places (well, it's a Dean Koontz novel) and a bit dated (didn't realise it was written 30 years ago when I bought it) but it is a thoroughly engaging story, beautifully told and narrated.
Warning - if you love dogs it is likely to make you cry!
