Ugh. Usually I can expect Koontz books to be great. This, however, doesn't even come close to his better works. The actual writing style is still excellent, but there is much more to a book than that.
*This book has no plot.*
I mean literally. The publishers obviously recognized this, as the blurb describes the events in the last few chapters. The tagline (Wonder still exists in the world – But not if Homeland Security has anything to do with it) is nothing less than false advertising.

Worse. The book follows a large number of different characters, alternating per chapter. But why? One character isn't tied into the main plot at all, another has no effect on it, and a third and fourth briefly collide—but again with no effect on the main plot.

Effectively this book is idle writing with no purpose and no ending. Very disappointing for Koontz.
