About this product

Product Information

Only a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas is one of those rare literary heroes who have come alive in readers' imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is irresistibly drawn onward to a destiny he cannot imagine and to undreamed of places where the perils he will face and the stakes for which he fights will eclipse all that he has known. The legend began in the obscure little town of Pico Mundo. A fry cook named Odd was rumored to have the extraordinary ability to communicate with the dead. Through tragedy and triumph, exhilaration and heartbreak, word of Odd Thomas's gifts filtered far beyond Pico Mundo, attracting unforgettable new friends--and enemies of implacable evil. With great gifts comes the responsibility to meet great challenges. But no mere human being was ever meant to face the darkness that now stalks the world--not even one as oddly special as Odd Thomas. After grappling with the very essence of reality itself, after finding the veil that separates him from his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, tantalizingly thin yet impenetrable, Odd longed only to return to a life of quiet anonymity with his two otherworldly sidekicks--his dog Boo and a new companion, one of the few who might rival his old pal Elvis. But a true hero, however humble, must persevere. Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems. Now the forces arrayed against him have both official sanction and an infinitely moresinister authority...and in this dark night of the soul dawn will come only after the most shattering revelations of all. Burnishing Dean Koontz's stature as a master of suspense and one of our most innovative and gifted storytellers, Odd Hours illuminates a legacy of mystery and hope that will shine on long after the final page.

I was looking so forward to the boxed set as described when I purchased, but only received the book, no cards. I sent message and pic of book only and the little plastic bag with all mail info. And in a day had a positive response from seller. Thank you for your quick response, and for making it right. I am happy to purchase from this seller in the future :)

    Great Books...But not 1st Eds...Koontz still rules

    Wonderful set of books but not 1st Eds...wanted these wonderful books and greater stories from an awesome writer to be in my personal library....but they are just books...not a collection of jewels as I believed... the "Odd Thomas" series is a great plot that is continued through all of the books and has kept me wanting more of the story.,,...yes I would suggest anyone would love the typical Koontz style to keep one on the edge of their seat and read these books.....

  • Odd Hours by Dean Koontz

    Odd Hours is the fourth novel in the wonderful series of Odd Thomas. Written by, in my personal opinion - most definately the greatest author I can imagine, Dean Koontz. His fictional character Odd Thomas, is just brilliant. Absolutely superb. I am taken to another world whenever I read a book by Dean Koontz, and this particular novel Odd Hours, has definately stood up to it's reputation. I loved it as always with anything written by a truly genius author. thankyou to you Mr Dean Koontz. And please, dont ever stop writing fiction, I would be lost without it. Leanne.....

  • Drunken redollection

    I'm a little drunk, but I promise to speak nothing of the plot. Dean Koontz is infamous for his descriptive ramblings,which though inticate tend to leave the plot neglected for just long enough for a reader to lose interest. Koontz, aware of this folly, seems to break the habit around page 46. I'll admit that there is significance in the first forty or so pages, however as in book two where he is wandering around the underground I believe the plot could have been condensed. Thus far I've addressed only the first 40 some Odd pages. The story begins and as all good stories do, it draws you into it, so that if you yourself don't become Odd you feel so close as to perhaps be a departed spirit following him. The book raises many questions, but only answers enough to conclude a battle. The war ...

  • ODD HOURS LARGE PRINT 2008

    Odd Thomas is back in this new Dean Koontz suspense novel. Thomas may be an ordinary fry cook, but he can communicate with the dead. After a harrowing showdown with evil last time, he is now trying to live a more quiet life. Unfortunately, it isn't happening because his dreams are haunted by a blood red tide that takes him to a small town on the coast of California. In this town, nothing is as it seems. From this town will come a shattering revelation. Koontz has done a good job in drawing out the suspense of the story, which is also a mystery and one of hope for the town. Can Odd Thomas survive the blood red tide?

  • Cliffhanger Odd

    I am a huge fan of the Odd series and this book is no exemption. I thought the book was a very fast read and kept me entertained and it was very suspensful. They was more than a few topics that were left in the dark. That is more than likely for the next book, but it was kind of disappointing. I read a few reviews before purchasing that totally trashed the book and I fully do not agree with those reviews. I will not ever trash a book in the Odd series and Dean Koontz is an excellent author. Go out and ready ODD HOURS. It will keep you interetained.
