Through the use of good characterization and people you genuinely care about (as well as a villain that’s interesting but also creepy), this plot works on multiple levels and kept me enthralled. Also explored is good versus evil and gaining second chances on life in general. Koontz does an admirable job with the research for this type of thing, as well as raising some interesting questions on the side effects of something such as this is successful. However, this one has a supernatural edge of sorts and explores another type of subject not often discussed: resuscitative medicine. The plot for this one is sort of akin to another serial killer running amok, which is a type of thriller Koontz seems to lean toward.
