Dean Koontz is OUTSTANDING. When I was in the Navy, I'd buy one of his books everytime I went out to sea. I think my favorite is probably "Tick Tock". It's been a while since I've read him. I had "Faces" in my hand last night, but ended up not buying it.

(Odd place to make my first post, but why not!)

It has been quite some time since I have read anything by Dean Koontz. To be quite honest, all of his material has been obliterated from my memory with the exception of "Lightning." Its heroic protagonist (Stefan Krieger) drew me in and it is one of the few books (surprisingly) I have bothered to read twice.

My husband and I are both big Dean Koontz fans. He's got a new series that is just starting, apparently in paperback only (at least I haven't seen it in hardback, and I usually look), called the Frankenstein series. Book one of the series is Prodigal Son, and we just picked it up this weekend. Can't wait to read it!

I think my favorite of his is Intensity.

Koontz is pretty good. A lot of his protagonists are the same though (Catholic, writers, etc, but I guess like most, it's easier to write about what you know). However, other than that, I've found his books to be well-written.

My favorite Koontz books:

Phantoms
Twilight Eyes
Children of Twilight
Strangers (Sort of Koontz's version of The Stand)
Hideaway
Intensity
