The lights are on in Snowfield, California, a cozy ski village nestled in the Sierra Madres, but nobody seems to be home. When Dr. Jenny Paige returns to the small town, she finds tables set for dinner, meals being prepared, and music playing in living rooms, but there's no trace of the people who put the water on to boil or set an extra place for company at the dinner table. As she explores the town, Paige finds friends and neighbors felled by a mysterious force--the bodies show no visible signs of violence or disease, and no known plague kills victims before the ice in their dinner drinks has time to melt. But the deep quiet that surrounds her offers few clues about the fate of the town's inhabitants. Dean Koontz's
Phantoms strikes fear in readers from the very beginning. The mystery deepens, paving the way for a chilling journey toward the truth. If you plan to catch the film version, starring Ben Affleck and Peter O'Toole, remember that you'll be experiencing this terrifying story in a dark theater. So bring an arm to grab!

The population in the ski-resort town of Snowville, California, seems to have disappeared--everyone who's alive, that is. When Dr. Jenny Paige returns with her sister, the two descend upon the desolate town with an eerie feeling that is only reinforced with the uncovering of dead bodies throughout. But the signs indicate that the people's deaths--by an inexplicable force--were recent, so Jenny and Lisa scramble to find out what happened. Buck Schirner narrates with a deep, gravelly voice that is perfect for the kind of tense atmosphere found in Koontz's books. Schirner's pacing and pitch respond to the story's context, and his characterizations of female characters are impressive, considering his deep voice. L.E. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--
