In the stillness of a golden September afternoon, deep in the wilderness of the Rockies, a solitary craftsman, Grady Adams, and his magnificent Irish wolfhound Merlin step from shadow into light…and into an encounter with enchantment. That night, through the trees, under the moon, a pair of singular animals will watch Grady's isolated home, waiting to make their approach.
A few miles away, Camillia Rivers, a local veterinarian, begins to unravel the threads of a puzzle that will bring all the forces of a government in peril to her door.
At a nearby farm, long-estranged identical twins come together to begin a descent into darkness…In Las Vegas, a specialist in chaos theory probes the boundaries of the unknowable…On a Seattle golf course, two men make matter-of-fact arrangements for murder…Along a highway by the sea, a vagrant scarred by the past begins a trek toward his destiny…
In a novel that is at once wholly of our time and timeless, fearless and funny, Dean Koontz takes readers into the moment between one turn of the world and the next, across the border between knowing and mystery. It is a journey that will leave all who take it Breathless.
My thoughts
Dean Koontz’s “Breathless” is the story of numerous individuals that and their lives, a veterinarian, a cabinet maker, a hideous homeless man, a psychotic murderer and several others. Koontz develops their lives making me yearn for what the connection is. When two mysterious creatures appear to Grady (the cabinet maker), he invites Camilla (the veterinarian), it made me wonder what the importance of the others were. It takes to the end of the story for it all to connect, but once the mystery was gone, it opened more questions, mainly what was the point. I enjoyed the buildup but it should have been more.

I'm a huge Dean Koontz fan. Lightening is my favorite. But, I think this one will be a great book.
