Odd Thomas, a fry cook who can communicate with the dead, in the fictional small town of Pico Mundo, California:
Every so often a
character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he
seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned.
For such a character, one book is not enough—readers must know what
happens next. Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been
demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that
are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique
young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts
suspense and terror, adventure and mystery—and altogether irresistibly
odd.
We’re all a little odd beneath the surface. He’s the most
unlikely hero you’ll ever meet—an ordinary guy with a modest job you
might never look at twice. But there’s so much more to any of us than
meets the eye—and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. For Odd lives always
between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the
heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never asked to
communicate with the dead—it’s something that just happened. But as the
unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he’s got a
duty to do the right thing. That’s the way Odd sees it and that’s why
he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.
A
childhood friend of Odd’s has disappeared. The worst is feared. But as
Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing
person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an
enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. Once
again Odd will stand against our worst fears. Around him will gather new
allies and old, some living and some not. For in the battle to come,
there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the
balance between despair and hope. Whether you’re meeting Odd Thomas for
the first time or he’s already an old friend, you’ll be led on an
unforgettable journey through a world of terror, wonder and delight—to a
revelation that can change your life. And you can have no better guide
than Odd Thomas.
Loop me in, odd one.
The
words, spoken in the deep of night by a sleeping child, chill the young
man watching over her. For this was a favorite phrase of Stormy
Llewellyn, his lost love, and Stormy is dead, gone forever from this
world. In the haunted halls of the isolated monastery where he had
sought peace, Odd Thomas is stalking spirits of an infinitely darker
nature.
Through two New York Times bestselling novels
Odd Thomas has established himself as one of the most beloved and unique
fictional heroes of our time. Now, wielding all the power and magic of a
master storyteller at the pinnacle of his craft, Dean Koontz follows
Odd into a singular new world where he hopes to make a fresh
beginning—but where he will meet an adversary as old and inexorable as
time itself.
St. Bartholomew’s Abbey sits in majestic solitude
amid the wild peaks of California’s high Sierra, a haven for children
otherwise abandoned, and a sanctuary for those seeking insight. Odd
Thomas has come here to learn to live fully again, and among the
eccentric monks, their other guests, and the nuns and young students of
the attached convent school, he has begun to find his way. The silent
spirits of the dead who visited him in his earlier life are mercifully
absent, save for the bell-ringing Brother Constantine and Odd’s steady
companion, the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
But trouble has a way of
finding Odd Thomas, and it slinks back onto his path in the form of the
sinister bodachs he has met previously, the black shades who herald
death and disaster, and who come late one December night to hover above
the abbey’s most precious charges. For Odd is about to face an enemy who
eclipses any he has yet encountered, as he embarks on a journey of
mystery, wonder, and sheer suspense that surpasses all that has come
before.
Only a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas is one such literary hero who has come alive in listeners' 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. 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' 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 separating 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 more sinister authority...and in this dark night of the soul, dawn will come only after the most shattering revelations of all.
Following the explosive
success of "Odd Apocalypse," here is the gripping new adventure of Odd
Thomas, Dean Koontz's most celebrated character.
In a sinister
encounter with a rogue truck driver tricked up like a rhinestone cowboy,
Odd has a disturbing vision of a shocking multiple homicide that has
not yet been committed. Across California, into Nevada, and back again,
Odd embarks on a riveting road chase to prevent the tragedy.
Along
the way, he meets--and charms--a collection of eccentrics who become
his allies in a terrifying battle against a sociopath of singular
boldness and cleverness--and a shadowy network of mysterious,
like-minded murderers whose chilling resources seem almost supernatural.
The singular journey of
Odd Thomas is approaching its unforgettable conclusion in Saint Odd. But
before Odd’s destiny is revealed, this exclusive eBook short story
looks back — way back — to where it all began for Odd Thomas and Stormy
Llewellyn, two souls who are destined to be together forever.
Amid
the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful
attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life
and love’s pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming
with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a
mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the
young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd
Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of
dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever
anticipate.
And for Odd Thomas, a gallant fry cook from a sleepy
California desert town, the future beckons—to listen to unquiet
spirits, pursue unsettling mysteries, and learn shocking truths . . .
for a purpose far greater than himself.
Odd Interlude, Dean Koontz’s New York Times bestselling three-part digital series—now in one volume for the first time
THERE’S ROOM AT THE INN. BUT YOU MIGHT NOT GET OUT.
Nestled on a lonely stretch along the Pacific coast, quaint roadside
outpost Harmony Corner offers everything a weary traveler needs—a cozy
diner, a handy service station, a cluster of cottages . . . and the
Harmony family homestead presiding over it all. But when Odd Thomas and
company stop to spend the night, they discover that there’s more to this
secluded haven than meets the eye—and that between life and death,
there is something more frightening than either.
