False Memory

Description

`Not just a master of our darkest dreams but also a literary juggler` (The Times )
`Koontz redefines suspense` (The Times )
`Koontz`s style bleaches out clichés while showing a genius for detail` (Publishers Weekly )
`Koontz`s art is making the reader believe the impossible... sit back and enjoy it` (Sunday Telegraph )
`A master of the thriller genre` (Washington Post )
`He combines rich, evocative prose, some of the warmest - and also some of the most despicable - characters to be found in fiction, technical speculations that seem to come directly from today`s headlines and a sense of on-the-edge-of-the-seat pacing to create thrillers that are not just convincing, but thought-provoking as well` (Mystery Scene )
`A moral fable for the turn of the millennium, an engagingly written, hugely entertaining parable for our times` (The Times )
`Fast and furious... like a hospital trolley on a toboggan run` (Mail on Sunday )
`Koontz presents a unique fictional world well-grounded in convincing detail. Readers will be riveted to the narrative. Koontz`s familiar theme of life`s victims surviving the odds emerges here as forcefully as it does in SOLE SURVIVOR and INTENSITY, but Snow`s physical limitations give it a more dangerous and intriguing edge` (Publishers Weekly )
