Harriet Klausner's Review Archive
Disbelieving and frightened, Dylan and Jilly realize they must run when her Cadillac explodes. With Shep acting stranger than ever, the trio goes on the lam. Jillian begins seeing visions; Dylan turns obsessed with a need to be the ultimate Good Samaritan; and. Shep teleports himself and others. With the doctor dead, there is no one to guide them and probably no turning back. Also they must deal with their deceased experimenter's enemy who wants them dead too.
Dean Koontz is at his scariest (which says a lot) with the suspense thriller BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON. Mr. Koontz digs deep into the souls of the lead triad enabling the audience to observe the metamorphosis of the trio while understanding their varying motives. The story line is fast-paced, as Jilly and Dylan mostly try to do what they feel is right though not always agreeing. In spite of a climax that sets up sequels rather than closure, genre fans will send the grandmaster back to his usual best selling status, deservedly so.
