Publisher's Summary

“The plot twists ingeniously...an engaging, often chilling book.” - The New York Times Book Review

A writer in California. A doctor in Boston. A motel owner and his employee in Nevada. A priest in Chicago. A robber in New York. A little girl in Las Vegas. They’re a handful of people from across the country, living through eerie variations of the same nightmare.

A dark memory is calling out to them. And soon they will be drawn together, deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, where the terrifying truth awaits...

©2008 Dean Koontz (P)2008 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Critic Reviews

“A unique spellbinder that captures the reader on the first page. Exciting, enjoyable, and an intensely satisfying read.” - Mary Higgins Clark

“[Koontz] is a great storyteller, and Strangers features a plot so original you’ll be reading, with chills, well into the morning." - New York Daily News

“Koontz is a master at constructing vivid, eerily realistic worlds that hold readers spellbound. A memorable thriller.” - Booklist

Not to bad

A lot of build up to the mystery of why and what was going on. Ended a little flat could have been expanded at the end but overall a pretty solid read.

slow burn to brilliance

started very dry and more observed third person, which nearly made me discontinue listening to the book. Yet after 5hrs or so with character background built it picked up to be a fantastic story. Once the narrator became more enthusiastic with his narration I was utterly captivated with the story etc.
Another amazing Dean Koontz novel, loved it

Enthralling and engaging listen

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

I had read this book in my 20's and had searched for it till now, many years later as I couldn't remember the author, nor the title of the book. Excited that I found it as an audible book that I downloaded because it sounded interesting. It was so good that I'm now sad that I have finished listening to it. A totally recommended listen and I will listen to it again .. and again!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Strangers?

The ending, both wonderous and surprising.

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This was a first time listen of Dick Hill's work, it was fantastic.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending and how the strangers wove into the story line.
