3★
"No time to delay. Do what you were born to do. Fame will be yours when you do this."
These are the words that ring in the mind of mild-mannered, beloved schoolteacher Cora Gundersun--just before she takes her own life, and many others', in a shocking act of carnage. When the disturbing contents of her secret journal are discovered, it seems certain that she must have been insane. But Jane Hawk knows better. In the wake of her husband's inexplicable suicide--and the equally mysterious deaths of scores of other exemplary individuals--Jane picks up the trail of a secret cabal of powerful players who think themselves above the law and beyond punishment. But these ruthless people bent on hijacking America's future for their own monstrous ends never banked on a highly trained FBI agent willing to go rogue--and become the nation's most wanted fugitive--in order to derail their insidious plans to gain absolute power with a terrifying technological breakthrough.I was a die hard Dean Koontz fan for years. I loved his spooky, otherworldly novels...then along came the "Odd Thomas" series. it was a bit different but still retained the qualities that I read Koontz novels for. Now we have the "Jane Hawke" series. It would probably be a great series...by any other author. It's not badly written...it's not an unbelievable storyline...the characters are not unlikable...it just isn't the Dean Koontz that I had grown to love that penned novels like [The Servants of Twilight]...[Lightening]... [Watchers]...and so very many, many more.
