Publisher's Summary
Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz’s dazzling New York Times bestseller, a gallant sentinel at the crossroads of life and death who offers up his heart in these pages and will forever capture yours.
“The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works.
Critic Reviews
"Once in a very great while, an author does everything right—as Koontz has in this marvelous novel.... the story, like most great stories, runs on character—and here Koontz has created a hero whose honest, humble voice will resonate with many.... This is Koontz working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love."—Publishers Weekly
"Dean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound."—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler."—The Times (London)

Gripping and cleverly delivered
Beautifully written and so cleverly read - Odd Thomas will forever have that voice in my head now - this book engages you from the get go. My heart raced, my mind did backflips, my heart broke. I laughed and I worried as Koontz took me into his story and I was lost in it until the end. 5 stars all round.

masterpiece
if you've seen the movie you arn’t missing much, still worth a listen though, one of the few book to movie adaptations they did good by the source material.
good book, good narrator (he really did odd justice) wish the others in the series were on audible so I could continue.

A Modern Classic
Revisiting Odd Thomas after all these years was terrific and, what's more, the narrator perfectly captured how I always imagined Odd to sound.
Whether you're new to the series or revisiting Odd alongside Elvis, I wholeheartedly recommend this audiobook.

Odd Thomas
I’ve been awaiting this release and did not disappoint. Solid story with a wonderful emotional end. Narrators voice could not be more worthy of Odd Thomas

Great read, great listen!
Having read the book some time ago it was great to be able to listen to it narrated by someone who can give that humble fry cook vibe. Cant wait to listen to more of the series. Excellent work.
