"A storm struck on the night Laura Shane was born, and there was a strangeness about the weather that people would remember for years. This book has many plot twists and turns, and lots of rich characters that you will remember, from her son Chris to her husband Danny and her best friend Thelma. Even the mysterious stranger is a full and rich character who comes in and out of the traumatic events of Laura's life. But why doesn't he seem to age? "
Kathleen, Resident Dean Koontz Scholar

"The main character, Laura, and her son Chris are caught up in a deadly conspiracy. Unknown people are trying to kill them for mysterious reasons. But Laura has a guardian angel protecting her, Lighning flashes and a tall, blond, blue eyed man appears to save her. A very well written story about time travel, and ruthlessness of certain government organizations."
James Xavier, Resident Dean Koontz Scholar
