That was a great series as well Barbara. I enjoyed the 2 books of Christopher Snow.

Discussing vaguely doesn't require a spoiler alert. If in doubt use a spoiler alert. goodreads has a way to hide spoilers.
spoiler: (view spoiler)[... (hide spoiler)]
see: (some html is ok) located top right in the comment box if using a pc - maybe it's on the app too. I mostly use my computer for goodreads.
You can also create a spoiler alert such as:
***SPOILER***

I'll add a warning to the discussion heading that it may contain spoilers.

This is always a good question! I never know..."

I've added **CONTAINS SPOILERS** to the discussion thread heading, so please discuss freely. If there's a major spoiler, go ahead and add a courtesy SPOILER ALERT, but there is now a **SPOILER ALERT*** attached to this entire thread. Thank you!

No one else sees this as an allegory to the current crazy times we are living?

You're the only one I've heard that from so far :-) Everyone has a different perspective, care to enlighten us?

The following note from Dean Koontz is copied from his E-mail Newsletter sent today:

From the Desk of Dean Koontz
Dear Readers,

Ah, February, the month of romance, twenty-eight days of love and hugs and kisses and promises of eternal bliss. Groundhog Day! We all love that furry little guy, the most lovable and kissable of all rodents. Of course, he’s a little liar. He’s not a groundhog, he’s a woodchuck, which he’ll admit when he’s had a few drinks too many. If faced with an angry divorce attorney while under oath, he’ll acknowledge that strictly speaking he’s not a woodchuck, either, but a marmot. But, hey, he’s not the first deceitful male sleazeball to go catting around under a false identity.

Lincoln’s Birthday! This month we honor that most dreamy looking of all presidents by sending roses to our significant other and spending many hours crafting paper lace with which to decorate greeting cards to express our affections. Then we do it all over again later in the month when it’s the birthday of George Washington, the brilliant statesman and stoic warrior over whom women still swoon because of his resemblance to a young Clint Eastwood.

My new novel, Quicksilver, is available now, and it’s just the right read for this romantic month. The lead, Quinn Quicksilver, is about to meet Bridget Rainking, and the only reason love doesn’t flower big time on their first encounter is because they’re both being pursued by thugs from the Internal Security Agency and by monsters human and otherwise. I think it’s scary; I know it’s funny; and though it goes into some pretty dark places, it offers hope, which recently has been in short supply in the real world.

Finally, there are only 28 days in the Month of Love, so we shouldn’t waste any of them by being mean, spiteful, rude, hostile, selfish, or by making invidious remarks. March will soon be here, with 31 days, which gives us plenty of time to be mean, spiteful, rude, hostile, selfish—and to learn what “invidious” means.

With warmest regards from everyone here in Koontzland,

Dean Koontz

I've read Quicksilver twice and quite like it :-)
One of my favorite Koontz titles published under Thomas & Mercer.

Yeah, it was good. I can easily see why some might not like it.
