Soon nobody on Earth will have a place to hide on this novel about fears known and unknown by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz.
In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives on my own in a fortresslike stone house on Jacob’s Ladder island. Once a rising star within the art world, she finds refuge in her painting.
The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a central authority research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob’s Ladder searching for anyone—or something—they refuse to identify. Even if an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so unusual even the island animals are in a state of high alarm.
Katie soon finds herself in an epic and terrifying battle with a mysterious enemy. But Katie’s not on my own in any case: a brave young girl appears out of the violent squall. As Katie and her companion struggle across a dark and eerie landscape, against them is an omnipresent terror that could bring about the end of the world.
