Innocence

“As speedy a chase-thriller as any Koontz, a past master of the form, has ever constructed… The clamor for a new Koontz will be heard… especially when his fans hear how good this one is.”

—Booklist

(starred review)

Acclaim for Dean Koontz

“A rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself.”

—Chicago Sun-Times

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. ‘Serious’ writers… might do well to examine his technique.”

—The New York Times Book Review

“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”

—Los Angeles Times

“Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition.”

—USA Today

“Characters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of [Koontz’s] work…. One of the master storytellers of this or any age.”

—The Tampa Tribune

“A literary juggler.”

—The Times
