Product Description

Rachael Leben's violently possessive ex-husband, Eric, hideously mangled in a freak accident, is dead. But his body has disappeared from the city morgue. Now someone, or something, is watching Rachael. Calling her. Stalking her. And though no one will believe her, she knows who it is; that his walking corpse is a grotesque mockery of life, and his brilliant, warped mind, once again 'alive', is seething with jealous rage, seeking an unspeakable revenge.


Ingram

A fearful divorcee is relieved when her enraged ex-husband dies in a freak accident, but her terror returns when his body disappears and she is stalked by a man who looks just like him. Reissue. AB. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Rekindling Ancient Genetic Memories, Juil 17 2006
Par Erika Borsos "pepper flower" (Gulf Coast of FL, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Shadowfires (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is another "once-you-start-you-can't-put-it-down" exhilirating reading experience. Dean Koontz has not yet disapointed. His novels are suspense-filled, imaginative, and totally unpredictable. The reader expects ... the unexpected. This novel is exceptionally brilliant, based on plausible genetic engineering principles which are exaggerated to create the impossible yet the reader is riveted and thrilled with the revelation when "the impossible" gradually becomes possible. This book is entertaining, spine-tingling, and utterly terrifying as the possibilities become ever more real ...

The book begins by introducing the reader to Rachael Leben and her husband, Dr. Eric Leben, a former University of California scientist and professor who is a partner in a genetic engineering research firm. This high profile California couple is in the midst of a divorce after seven years of marriage. They
seem like an above average couple whose divorce has all the qualities of turning into a nasty public media type circus event. Right after the meeting at Eric's lawyer's office, he hurls accusations at Rachael in an attempt to gain control over the situation as his masculinity and ego were totally crushed, humiliated when Rachael failed to press for everything she is entitled to under California divorce laws. After this highly charged emotional confrontation, Eric dashed across the street and in a freak accident was hit by a garbage truck. It hurled him in the air like a bomb blast and caused severe head injuries, from all indications killing him instantly. The paramedics could not revive him.

As if witnessing this event was not enough, the following day, Rachael receives a phone call from the Medical Examiner's office where she learns Eric's body had disappeared. After separating from Eric, Rachael had developed a friendship with Benny Lee Shadway, a highly successful real estate developer who was her sole emotional comfort during this horrible ordeal. He noticed she was paranoid and behaving oddly which he initially attributed to witnessing her husband's accident but as time progressed he was to learn her behavior was based on more than his disappearance and death. Rachael starts carrying a gun with her whenever she goes out, she keeps the curtains of her home closed all the time. She is obviously afraid but can not articulate from what ...

Dean Koontz supplies major clues throughout the book to gradually build up the suspense and the plot as the disappearance of Eric becomes connected to factors related to his genetic research. The manner in which Koontz ties together the story, plot and the unusual occurences and events within the book is a mind-boggling but thoroughly satisfying reading experience. As an author Koontz knows just how to reveal more and more personal details about the life and background of each character to create a better understanding of their behavior and viewpoint. Obviously, the reader is free to loath, love, and cheer for specific protaganists as he masterfully and skillfully unravels the murder mystery. Dean Koontz has become my favorite author of this genre. Erika Borsos (pepper flower)

3.0étoiles sur 5 An ex-husband back from the dead?, Déc 30 2003
This review is from: Shadowfires (Mass Market Paperback)
While this story has a great premise, I do agree with some of the reviewers in saying that Koontz doesn't completely pull it off.

I'd really give this book about 3 1/2 stars if I could. It did keep me on the edge of my seat, wondering how things will turn out, however, some of the topics were just a little too out there for me.

Some of my favorite of Koontz's are: Odd Thomas, False Memory, Key to Midnight, House of Thunder & The Bad Place.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Zombies are real, but they have some issues to deal with, Jui 3 2003
Par James N Simpson (Gold Coast, QLD Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Shadowfires (Mass Market Paperback)
Eric Leben is a brilliant rich scientist. He's not a nice guy though and after an encounter with a garbage truck is dead. Rachael who had decided to settle on next to nothing in their divorce settlement suddenly inherits his company.

The government knows what Eric was working on and wants his secrets and everyone who knows about them. Meanwhile Eric's corpse walks out of the morgue. He wants his documents back and his wife dead. Being immortal isn't as much fun as you'd think, Eric has some physical and mental issues to deal with.

Ben Shadway who has had a crush on Rachael since he met her decides to accompany her while she flees those after her. He has a few secrets of his own and enemies.

This isn't Koontz's best work. It's fairly dated with references to communism with national security. It's storyline is fairly predictable in parts and the ending is very disappointing and unimaginatively simple. I also didn't think the moral dilemma about Anson Sharp was resolved properly for Jerry Peake before he acted either.
