DESCRIPTION:
Now Koontz follows Odd as he is drawn onward, to a destiny he cannot imagine. Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas is one such literary hero, who has come alive in listeners’ imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry. “Koontz forges the kind of sweeping melodrama complete with screwball laughs, nail-biting moments, and surprises that is the bedrock of American narrative fiction.” —BooklistOnly a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone.

He encounters some people who've given Odd a bad feeling, one of them touches Odd and Odd is struck with a vision that's been haunting his dreams. Apparently the guy who touched Odd was struck with the same vision and immediately realiz
Exclusive Essay: Destiny and Odd Hours Odd Thomas came to me as a gift, the entire first chapter of his first book having poured out of me as I was in the middle of writing The Face. Or so I thought. He was fully-realized in my mind from the moment I began to write in that lined legal tablet. I didn't believe that the first three books had put down a sufficient foundation to support the formidable architecture that I saw rising from it in the next three or four novels. Then along came Oddie, and he proved me wrong. I had thought I was writing a series with an overall theme about the power and beauty of humility. He just suddenly was. I wrote it b
