  <default-description>On an impulse, schoolteacher Jim Ironheart flies to Portland, Oregon without understanding why. There he saves a boy from being killed by a drunk driver and is observed by Holly Thorne.  &lt;P&gt;She tracks Jim to California, and their lives intertwine on one of Jim's lifesaving missions. Surviving a plane crash, terrifying monsters that materialize from Holly's nightmares, and an uncannily powerful adversary, they search for the source of Jim's psychic power.</default-description>

It was a suspense/mystery/pseudo sci-fi thriller type.

In retrospect, I could have spent my time on better books, but these chillers were an escape from things I didn't want to think about, especially at night when I couldn't sleep and my mind twisted my perceptions nauseatingly. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47900504">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the Dean Koontz I love! I listened to this as an audio book a few years ago and was thrilled to re-experience the story in print. Cold Fire was published in 1991, after The Bad Place and before Koontz starting coming out with 2-3 novels each year. Some issues examined in Cold Fire include: E...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61193541">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay well I gave this one two stars because of the ending. I was enjoying the journey for most of the book, it kept my attention and I was eager to see where it would go. However, I really wanted a bam ending and I got a puff.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started this book on 10/12/2009. I finished this book on 10/29/2009.<br/><br/>It was a pretty good book.
