*Not* a Dean Koontz pen name,
By David "Laymon Fan" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bright Shadow (Paperback)
"Elizabeth Forrest" is a pen name for Rhondi Vilott Salsitz.

Forrest IS Koontz, and the writing proves it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bright Shadow (Paperback)
Just to end the confusion, Forrest is one of Dean Koontz's pen names! Too many of these books seem like left over manuscripts, though. And he doesn't want people to know it's him, yet at the very top of every book it says, "'I hope EF becomes a household name as she deserves to be' -- Dean Koontz." He wants them to sell like Leigh Nicoles did, I guess. But this tale is too much like others I've read by better authors..

An author who is as good as King and Koontz,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bright Shadow (Paperback)
A psychopathic Evangelist, a hermit, a little girl, and a barren woman are
total strangers to one another until a set of uncontrollable circumstances
place them on a collision course. It begins when the FBI raid the New Hope
Compound, run by Reverend Davidson. The FBI believes that the reverend funds
his organization by illegally selling stolen computer chips to foreign
governments.
....... The current raid, led by Agent MacGruder, turns into another Waco.
However, Davidson manages to escape from the carnage he causes. An
inadvertent witness, Spenser, manages to haul one of the children out of the
mess and hide her with a friend from both Davidson's minion and the Feds, who
both want the child. Eventually, the little girl ends up with Carole.
....... The few children rescued from the calamity are being systematically
killed in what appears to be a series of unfortunate accidents. Spenser and
MacGruder know that Davidson is behind these atrocities as he searches for
the missing child Spenser rescued. As MacGruder closes in on Davidson,
Spenser and Carole try to protect the child from everyone, even as they
wonder what is important about this innocent child.
....... Elizabeth Forrest may not yet have the name recognition of Clive Barker
or Stephen King, but her talent clearly rivals both of them. BRIGHT SHADOW
is a frightening yet thrilling work that demonstrates what can happen when
too much power is concentrated in a few organizations that ultimately abuse
their power as their leaders lose their scruples. Ms. Forrest's examination
of human group dynamics working in a corrupt environment is brilliant and
ought to bring the awesome author a forest of new fans.
