What this book is about
Dean Koontz's sprawling thriller follows Bartholomew Lampion, born with a miraculous gift of sight, and the intersecting lives of the people who will shape his destiny — including a violent man who believes Barty is his nemesis. Koontz weaves together spiritual themes, quantum physics, and thriller plotting across nearly 800 pages. The violence is significant but tempered by the novel's fundamentally hopeful register. One of Koontz's most ambitious standalone works.
