Product Description
THEY WERE STRANGERS. A handful of people. From different backgrounds, living in different towns and cities across America, they had nothing in common - except fear. THEY WERE VICTIMS. Cold and stark, an unknown terror gripped their dreams and turned their days into living nightmares. THEY WERE CHOSEN. And they could not escape.

Reviews:
David McKnight (USA: CA) (2010/09/28): What I think makes this book fascinating is the story behind it. This was Koontz break from generally profitable pulp fiction to hardcover best seller. And he wrote it purely on spec. He didn't want any editor or agent to have a preconception about where the story needed to go.
For Koontz fans, this a transformative road map of his growth as a writer, resulting in him becoming one of the best known authors in the world.
Of course, that didn't happen with one book. It is an imperfect story. But it is compelling, and very readable.
