THOUGHTS
this one felt oddly familiar. 
this one felt like if Quinn himself was a reincarnation of Odd Thomas and instead of us getting the Odd we know and love, we get this version; one that hasn't fully developed his abilities yet, one that we get to see come to realization as to how horrible humanity can be but doesn't let it deter him because come on, its dean koontz! we always need a champ......it also reminds me a bit of Dune. (hbo! when are you bringing it back!???)

this one also felt like it was picked up by these foos in another universe right where the By The Light of the Moon crew left off; this new gang is continuing the journey. although..... 
this one felt a little bit like the institute by stephen king. to tell you why would be to give you spoilers for both away and i dont wanna do that BUT i will say this, if you read the institute and thought that was too long, this might be a shorter alternative for you. 

this is koontz doing what he does best and taking the "supernatural" and then fucking me up with it by adding a dash of human element to it. 
like can a literal alien come abduct me? (i mean, idk, probably) but i guess what im trying to say doesnt even matter because i cant because its spoilery! 
ahhhh!!!! (i guess what i was trying to say was that he has a way of writing about things that maaayyyy possibly happen but in a way that i feel like nah, it wont, but should it ever well, my mans warned me didn't he?) 

overall, im glad i read this Dean Koontz release instead of sitting on it like i have with his other last 2 releases (along with the nameless season 2 release)  😅.

my regret now lies with the fact that i did not do spoilers right away when i started this post. now that im back finishing this up i cannot give you the best of spoilers. 😬

anywho, jump over for the little that i do have. 



SPOILERS
uhm so quinn i guess is kinda like genetically made. along with homegirl he meets up with. they dont have real parents. the women that had them per se were basically drugged up and used against their will to carry these two and i guess many others. they are descendants of some other generation that i could not even begin to explain if i tried and uhm....in the end they meet up with someone else and they go on some sort of magnetic trip thing and they rescue humans and discover horrible truths of others and i think it ends with like well, this is life and we gotta choose to do better but man, i honestly cannot remember anything about this story. 
sorry for the super bad job.
