Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he seems to take on a life of his own long following the final page is turned. For such a character, one book is not enough—readers must really know what happens next. Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a distinctive young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery—and altogether irresistibly odd.

But there’s a lot more to anybody than meets the eye—which goes triple for Odd Thomas.

Odd never asked to communicate with the dead—it’s something that just happened. But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he’s got a duty to do the right thing. That’s just how Odd sees it and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.

For in the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope.
