Seize the Night description Chris Snow, the light-phobic, oddball hero of Dean Koontz's Fear Nothing, is once again caught in the middle of something ugly. The children (and pets) of Moonlight Bay, California, are disappearing. The first to go is Jimmy Wing, the son of Snow's former girlfriend, Lilly. Then Snow's own hyper-intelligent dog goes missing. Snow decides that he will find them, but what he uncovers is more than just a simple kidnapping; before he can turn back, he's up against an age-old vendetta, an active time machine, and a genetic experiment gone awry. Seize the Night offers up the same eclectic mix of characters that appeared in Fear Nothing: boardhead Bobby, disc jockey Sasha, Snow, and all of their friends band together to find the missing kids and figure out why the people of Moonlight Bay are morphing into demonic versions of their former selves. They outsmart corrupt cops, outrun genetically enhanced monkeys, and outlive a time warp with a vengeance--all between nightfall and sunrise, the only time that Snow can be outside. Though the premise is a little bit hard to believe, and the surf lingo occasionally irritating, Seize the Night is ultimately fun to read. Koontz successfully draws you in and keeps you entertained through an unexpected climax and an enlightening resolution. --Mara Friedman |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Christopher Snow ... still afflicted ..... |
| Christopher Snow, of the Dean Koontz "Fear Nothing" fame, is still afflicted. His disease keeps him from being in the light. Any light. Otherwise he will acquire melanoma and die. Hence, Christopher "Fear Nothing" Snow is afflicted. Just like a bazillion other Dean Koontz characters.
Returning from "Fear Nothing" there are the biologically altered monkeys. Dozens of monkeys. Hundreds of monkeys. Maybe thousands. Well, maybe not thousands this time, but there were a bunch of monkeys and they were not happy monkeys. They were ticked off. Angry about being altered. But enough of the monkeys. They really don't play into this much. The cat, well that is different story. A talking (sort of) and intelligent cat who enjoys the company of Christoper's brother who is a dog. OK, well, I know that this makes sense so far. So now let's throw in an abandoned military fort where strange things are happening. And in the nearby town of Moonlight Bay, children are disappearing. The worst of it, however, is that his dog/brother Orson has also disappeared. In order to rescue everyone, Chris enlists the aid of his friends and off to the fort we go. Within a short time we cross into another dimension of time and space. We enter a singularity of .... of ... something. We see a Hellish world of the future or maybe not the future ... maybe the past ... no, it's the "sideways". If anyone can figure this book out please leave me a message. Damned if I can decipher the message. Nevertheless, it was fast pace and interesting. Maybe a little exciting. I think I read this book. But, then again, maybe I didn't. I am sure that I bought it and kind of remember reading it ... but, when I looked on the shelf .. it wasn't there. I wonder if this review will be here when I finish it. Not sure. Mondo weird. Not as good as "Fear Nothing". Definitely weirder. Densel Myers Yukon, Oklahoma |
