Description

With his bestselling mixture of nail biting intensity, daring artistry, and storytelling magic, Dean Koontz returns with an emotional roller-coaster of an account filled with enough twists, turns, shocks, and surprises for ten ordinary novels. This is actually the story of five days in the life of a regular man born to an exceptional legacy—a story that'll challenge the manner in which you look at good and bad, life and death, and everything in between.Jimmy Tock makes the planet on the night his grandfather leaves it. As a violent storm rages away from hospital, Rudy Tock spends extended hours walking the corridors between your expectant fathers' waiting-room and his dying father's bedside. It's a strange vigil made all of the stranger when, at the peak of the storm's fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up during sex and speaks coherently for the frist and last time since his stroke.What he says before he dies is that there will be five dark days in the life span of his grandson—five dates whose terrible events Jimmy will need certainly to prepare himself to manage.
