When you sit down with a brand new thriller, what is it you are most looking for? Action, excitement, suspense, thrills and chills, fast paced storytelling? Well, one author has been writing books like that for years and his latest is a jaunty thrill ride. Dean Koontz set the standard for literate, runaway thrillers with intensity back in the '90s and then again over the last few years with roller coaster tales like: Velocity, The Husband and The Good Guy. In May he released Relentless ( originally titled THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WOODS), another pageturner that causes your fingers to blister. Not so much on the Horror side like many of his other tales, this book follows a novelist who meets the critic of all critics who wrote a bad review of his latest book. From then on out it is non-stop, blockbuster movie writing. As the title suggests, you will not be able to take it. Relentless is a great read and will leave you wanting more from this gifted writer. If you have never tried a Koontz book before, there is no better book to introduce you to his web of terror. The Eerie Coterie give this a 4 Scythe Rating - Throat Slashed!
