Description: With his bestselling blend of nail-biting , daring artistry, and storytelling magic, Dean Koontz returns with an emotional roller coaster of a tale filled with enough twists, turns, shocks, and surprises for ten ordinary novels. Here is the story of five days in the life of an ordinary man born to an extraordinary legacy—a story that will challenge the way you look at good and evil, life and death, and everything in between.Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfather leaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tock spends long hours walking the corridors between the expectant fathers waiting room and his dying fathers bedside. Its a strange vigil made all the stranger when, at the very height of the storms fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up in bed and speaks coherently for the frist and last time since his stroke.What he says before he dies is that there will be five dark days in the life of his grandson—five dates whose terrible events Jimmy will have to prepare himself to face. The first is to occur in his twentieth year; the second in his twent-third year; the third in his twenty-eighth; the fourth in his twenty-ninth; the fifth in his thirtieth.Rudy is all too ready to discount his fathers last words as a dying mans delusional rambling. But then he discovers that Josef also predicted the time of his grandsons birth to the minute, as well as his exact height and weight, and the fact that Jimmy would be born with syndactyly—the unexplained anomal of fused digits—on his left foot. Suddenly the old mans predictions take on a chilling significance.What terrifying events await Jimmy on these five dark days? What nightmares will he face? What challenges must he survive? As the novel unfolds, picking up Jimmys story at each of these crisis points, the path he must follow will defy every expectation. And with each crisis he faces, he will move closer to a fate he could never have imagined. For who Jimmy Tock is and what he must accomplish on the five days when his world turns is a mystery as dangerous as it is wondrous—a struggle against an evil so dark and pervasive, only the most extraordinary of human spirits can shine through.

Well, this was not my favorite of Dean Koontzs books and it was not a horror novel but it was a story I enjoyed very much. If I had to put a label on it, I would call it a farce. That wasnt what I was expecting but it turned out to be a very funny book. A lot of the humor reminded me of Koontzs ODD THOMAS books.For example, here is a passage I loved:Here was a graduate of Hannibal Lecter University, ready for a career in hospitality services as the new manager of the Bates Motel.This entire book was full of quips such as this. So if you are looking for a serious horror novel, you need to pass this one by.It tells the story of Jimmy Tock, from the night he was born to many years later. On the night he was born, his grandfather was dying and comes out of a coma to make dire predictions about five dates in Jimmys future.I loved the character of Jimmy and the woman he ends up marrying. He is a baker who works his way up to pastry chef under the tutelage of his father, who is the pastry chef at a resort high in the Colorado Rockies.Also, if you have a clown phobia, you might want to skip this book. The storyline is woven around a circus clown and also trapeze artists. Crazy, right? Right.If youre looking for a quick, fun, nonsensical read, this should fill that niche for you.
