BROTHER ODD （ISBN=） 英文原版

　　’Dean Koontz straddles the genres, and pretty successfully,
too ! Odd Thomas is a short-order cook in a restaurant in Pico
Mundo, a small town in the Mohave Desert. He also has an instinct
for people who are going to cause mayhem. And when one of them
turns up a　　nd orders breakfast, the novel kicks into gear ! Odd
Thomas is certainly a page-turner — this is a read-at-a-sitting
novel — with a terrific final twist.’ The Observer ‘There’s
surprise after surprise, including a killer finale ! a
read-in-one-go novel.’ Independent on Sunday on Velocity ‘Velocity
hits its pace from the first page and races through to a suitably
climactic ending.’ Sydney Sunday Telegraph ‘Dean Koontz is not just
a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler.’ The
Times ‘Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying.’ The New
York Times ‘A modern Swift ! a master satirist.’ Entertainment
Weekly ‘If Stephen King is the Rolling Stones of novels, Koontz is
the Beatles.’ Playboy ‘Dean Koontz writes page-turners,
middle-of-the-night sneak-up-behind-you suspense thrillers. He
touches our hearts and tingles our spines.’ Washington Post Book
World ‘Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. Serious writers might do
well to study his technique.’ New York Times Book Review
‘Fast-paced and dark ! Koontz knows we live in a world where evil
delights in justifying itself ! Classic literature that deserves a
place on the bookshelf beside Orwell’s 1984 and Bradbury’s
Fahrenheit 451.’ California Literary Review ‘Koontz is writing
right where popular culture swells into something larger, just as
it did for Homer, Shakespeare, and Dickens. He’s got the gift.’
Australian ‘Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles
the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail,
using popular fiction to explore the human condition.’ USA Today
‘Inspires both chills and serious thought ! has the power to scare
the daylights out of us.’ People ‘The poet laureate of paranoid pop
fiction.’ Denver Post ‘Koontz achieves a literary miracle !
stunning physical de*ion, unique turns of phrase.’ Boston
Globe ‘Near Dickensian powers of de*ion.’ Los Angeles
Times

　　Loop me in, odd one. The words, spoken in the deep of night by
a sleeping child, chill the young man watching over her. For this
was a favorite phrase of Stormy Llewellyn, his lost love, and
Stormy is dead, gone forever from this world. In the haunted halls
of the isolated monastery where he had sought peace, Odd Thomas is
stalking spirits of an infinitely darker nature. . . .Brother
Odd.
　　Through two New York Times bestselling novels, Odd Thomas has
established himself as one of the most beloved and unique fictional
heroes of our time. Now, wielding all the power and magic of a
master storyteller at the pinnacle of his craft, Dean Koontz
follows Odd into a singular new world where he hopes to make a
fresh beginning—but where he will meet an adversary as old and
inexorable as time itself.

　　Dean Koontz, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers,
lives with his wife, Gerda, and the enduring spirit of their golden
retriever, Trixie, in southern California.
