About this audiobook
A frightening novella from the #1 New York Times master of suspense
Ben Chase is a war hero, but a reluctant one. He struggles with bitter memories and feels alienated from the culture to which he has returned. When he claims that a psychopath is stalking him, he has by then made such an outsider of himself that no one believes him. He must resurrect the repressed warrior within to save himself and a woman he comes to love. Heroes need monsters to slay, and they can always find them—within if not without.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to have a great story with a relatable hero and a satisfying ending. Some reviewers had issues with the narrator and certain dialog, but overall, the book had potential and was enjoyable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Different from most Koontz's books, as it doesn't deal with anything from the supernatural, all is real, it could happen to anyone.Ben Chase is a Vietnam hero in everybody's opinion except his own. Onde day he accidently prevents a murder, and the killer then decides to get revenge on him. As no one believes that the killer is now chasing Chase (:op), he has to do it all by himself. A book that show us a little of what can be good in people, the difficult decisions we sometimes have to make and how to live with them, and the evil in this world.I liked Ben a lot, even though he seemed much older to me than his 24 years. And is there really people like Glenda? I hope so...A very quick read, in 2 days, in my work trip to Barcelona.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story. A hero I can understand and a villain to cause appreciation of the way it all ended.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I listened to this in the car and while raking leaves, and was surprised at how short it was. I've previously mentioned my love/hate relationship with Koontz, and I think I can place this one on the "like" side of the equation. I wasn't expecting the story to resolve so quickly ... I expected Chase to play with the killer a while after he found him. Overall, a mildly entertaining read (listen?).

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Wasn't fond of the narrator. Some of the dialog was pretty bad. Big loose end that I hope would never actually take place. The story definitely had potential.
