Critic reviews

"The paradox in time travel's tampering with history provides an interesting twist in this gripping thriller by a popular writer." (Library Journal)

One of my favorite Dean Koontz books

This is one my favorite Dean Koontz books - its merit comes from true mystery and suspense, rather than from the shock value of horror and supernatural events of his later works. Written in the later part of the 1980's, its content is still timely. I read it several times years ago and enjoyed my recent listen as much as I did my first read.

READ THIS BOOK!

This a great book, starts out with a bang and is thrilling and captivating till the end. I love Dean Koontz!

Truly Enjoyed

I enjoyed the book and great narrator. I liked the characters and the book is in my top 20.

Awesome

Great book and AWESOME performance. Narrator brought the characters to life for me! Lots of twists in story line, very addictive book!

Superb supernatural suspense

A finely crafted novel of mind twisting jumps across time. Perhaps the best suspense ending I've heard. The increased pacing is masterful! And Koontz's language is always surprising, making the reader want to improve his own vocabulary. Excellent.

Very Good Classic Dean Koontz

I Liked this one well enough that I will Listen to it again ...

Great Story!!

What made the experience of listening to Lightning the most enjoyable?

I've been a Koontz for years, this is one his very best. Great story and well developed characters!

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

My favorite narrator, never thought anyone could top Frank Muller. We miss him, but Christopher is awesome.

I was confused starting out

I was having a hard time following the story to begin with and kept getting lost, restarting the book 4 times! I finally got it. This book is not a heavy read but I needed to pay attention and not daydream while listening. When I finally caught on, I had a hard time putting the audible down. What a good listen, CL does a wonderful job narrating!

One of My Favorite Koontz Novels

I enjoyed the gradually unfolding mystery and imaginative, well-developed sci-fi. The characters are believable and you actually care what happens to them. This book was written before Koontz started writing thinly-veiled Christian crap.

Koontz Always Pleases!

I loved this narrator and the way he delivered on Koontz' wonderful storytelling. I wish this book was the first in a series!
