I have loved this series and am very sad to see it come to a close. It was thrilling, “unputdownable”, and I always looked forward to the next installment featuring the brave, strong, and courageous Jane Hawk. It is truly an amazing feat by this author to have kept this series constantly fascinating and awesome.

Jane Hawk again is battling the evil forces of the Arcadians, a group that wants domination so badly that they inject nanoparticles into people so that they can control them. Triggered by a phrase, the controlled group will acquiesce to the command of the speaker, and wreck havoc if they are instructed to do so, even to the point of their own suicide. It is mind control carried to the ultimate. It’s a way to achieve domination and with every telling of the story, Dean Kootnz has created such amazingly vile and horrendous villains, as well as people who are valiant and stalwart.
In Jane, the author gives the reader an extremely strong brilliant protagonist, one that will go the ends of a earth to protect her son and the people she loves. Jane possesses that resiliency that have made her such a heroine and one that has propelled these five books into something special and fascinating.
Mr Koontz has been able to carry this story with his uncanny ability to present both the dark side of humanity contrasting with all that is good and noble in society. I am sad to see this series end as I could always look forward to a story that I knew would never disappoint me. I definitely recommend this book and the preceding ones to all of those readers who love being mesmerized and fascinated. Jane, you will be missed.
Thank you to Dean Kootnz, BantamBooks, and NetGalley for a copy of this awesome novel. This book is due to be published on May 14, 2019.
and here’s the author:
Acknowledged as “America’s most popular suspense novelist” (Rolling Stone) and as one of today’s most celebrated and successful writers, Dean Ray Koontz has earned the devotion of millions of readers around the world and the praise of critics everywhere for tales of character, mystery, and adventure that strike to the core of what it means to be human.
Dean, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers, lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Elsa, and the enduring spirit of their goldens, Trixie and Anna.
An interview with the author
I read a couple of Dean Koontz books a long time ago and loved them. I saw this series and added it to my TBR a couple of months ago. I am thrilled to see you loved it!

I only read the beginning of your review since I plan to read the series, hopefully soon. I was just happy to see you were happy with this book. Koontz was my horror show years ago but I haven’t kept up. I’m ready to get back to him.
