Been reading Koontz again for the past several days with another of his horror oriented novels, "Dragon Tears".
Here we follow a cop named Harry Lyon, who is rational and never lets his job harden his soul. Something that his partner has been urging to embrace the chaos. And one day he is forced to shoot a man, and a homeless man, with bloodshot eyes, says that he will die in sixteen hours, words that threaten Harry's own sanity.
So another really fast paced novel like the last one, "Intensity", but "Dragon Tears" is a bit different. This leans into the realm of the supernatural, like "Hideaway", but with more of a cop thriller feel. Once I started reading it the story just went into overdrive on the first chapter, very much in the way that "Intensity" did. Just really fast paced!
And of course like much of Koontz's work, I see the story through several different perspectives of each of the characters. This one's also going into the top best books I've read by Koontz so far, along with "Intensity" and "Watchers". And now I wonder what the next Koontz novel I will find will be?
