Koontz's new book came from the library cause his last few books have disappointed. Too disappointed to spend money on a hardback.
This new novel is about a wealthy internet bachelor, Ryan Perry. He made his fortune with a social networking site, Facebook....or Be2Do. Probably the same thing.
Along with his beautiful, golden girlfriend, Perry enjoys a life of sun, surf and whatever the hell he wants. He experiences a seizure of sorts while surfing. After a few more, he sees a doctor who tells him his heart is damaged and he will die within the year.
After a successful heart transplant, things turn topsy turvy as someone informs him in eerie ways, that they want his heart back.
There's obviously much more to the story but it's a good read and very intriguing. I actually read this within a day. Koontz's endings always fall a little flat for me lately, and this was just meh. The ride to the climax, however, was pretty good.

Overall an enjoyable plot, twisted characters, and intense action typical of Koontz; but to me the ending felt like a sudden, nigh unto random, change of heart (no pun intended)that didn't feel connected to the rest of the story. Aside from the ending, I really enjoyed this story.
I love reading fiction books that have some bit of brackground that teaches me something new. This time it was the wonderful world of heart transplants! I discovered that I really take most of my vital organs for granted.
