About this audiobook
From bestselling author Dean Koontz, a trilogy of original novellas, “Last Light”, “Final Hour” and “Troubled Times” about an extraordinary heroine—Makani Hisoka-O’Brien—a Southern California surfer and clairvoyant.
“Last Light”
Makani is a young woman with a good heart and the gift of touch—a troubling gift, and sometime curse, that separates her from others, from her family, friends and lovers—a gift that makes her wary of casual contact. For when Makani touches others, their darkest thoughts and secret deeds are revealed to her. But her exile from the world at large comes to an end when she meets a “gifted” man with a talent of his own—a talent guided by a twisted soul. In a war of wills, only one will survive.
“Final Hour”
Makani saves a stranger from an accident in the park and experiences a most disturbing vision. With her friend Pogo, her dog Bob, and mere traces of information to guide her, Makani must track down two mysterious sisters—one of them innocent, one not.
“Troubled Times”
A friend reveals that he is under attack from a man with supernatural talents—a malevolent man with the power to manipulate time. The power was meant for good—to save humanity—but it was usurped by this man of insatiable greed and lust. Makani must use her gift, yet again, not only to save her friend, but the world as well. Has Makani finally met her match? Can her good heart stand up to such evil? Someone’s time is up and only time will tell whose time that is.

Some readers appreciate the thought-provoking and suspenseful nature of the book, while others find it repetitive and lacking diversity in characters. The narration is a point of contention, with some finding it monotonous and others enjoying it. Overall, the book is recommended by some for its suspenseful plot and satisfying ending, but others do not recommend it due to similarities to the author's previous works and issues with the narration.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoy Dean Koontz as an author. Having read his work for more than a decade, I will admit that he has reoccurring themes I have started to grow a little fatigued over. The dog hero....an innocent with a power/talent...a blond blue eyed main character grrrrb. I want a little more. I want some diversity, a little more horror and characters that are not anglo
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The narration grated on my nerves from the beginning. I tried very hard to keep listening, but DANG!!! She mixes when the author is "speaking" with the lady or any man. They all sound the same, which is the most ridiculous nasal accent EVER!! *sigh*. Why ruin a book with this narrator????
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book was good as his books usually are. Thought provoking and funny and serious and murder. The narrator made me seriously want to stop within two chapters. I can’t stand the monotone and actually wondered if it was a computer there for awhile. If you can hang in there then do so. It’s pretty great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5VERY happy the books I want are finally available! Great story as always!!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. Very suspenseful and nice ending . A must read
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Dean's just cranking out crap now. Narrator didn't help. Rarely don't finish a book... this is one of those times
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Too similar to his other works I won’t recommend it.
