Publisher's Summary
Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Best Male Narrator with an afterword read by the author
A “superior thriller” (Oakland Press) about a man, a dog, and a terrifying threat that could only have come from the imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz - nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
On his thirty-sixth birthday, Travis Cornell hikes into the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. But his path is soon blocked by a bedraggled Golden Retriever who will let him go no further into the dark woods.
That morning, Travis had been desperate to find some happiness in his lonely, seemingly cursed life. What he finds is a dog of alarming intelligence that soon leads him into a relentless storm of mankind’s darkest creation....
Critic Reviews
“His best story yet! Cross Lassie with E.T., add a touch of The Wolfen and a dash of The Godfather, and you get a sense of some of the ingredients in this thriller....this is the sort of thoroughly frightening and entertaining tale that has its readers listening for noises in the night.” --Publishers Weekly
“His best ever, an imaginative and unusual blend of sense and sentiment. A fable about love and trust...with echoes of Frankenstein and The Island of Dr. Moreau. A breakthrough for Koontz.” --Kirkus Reviews
“Displaying...more depth and a lot more humor than Stephen King, Dean Koontz has really hit his stride.” --The New York Times Book Review

Great Story
This story pulled me in and held me to the end. It has everything, drama, love ,mystery
Dean Koontz is a great wriet and for a book written 30+ years ago it could have been written yesterday.Performance was well done . I will now look for another book by Dean on audible and hope I find one I can enjoy as much as Watchers.

Brilliant
This is truly a story that stands the test of time. Einstein’s tale is a riveting thriller with many twists and turns, that keep the reader on the edge of their seat throughout. It’s been many years since I have read one of Dean Koontz books and I am so glad I chose this one.

There is an Einstein in every dog
I read this 30 odd years ago and was hooked on Dean Koontz, I have read alot of Dean's books, this one holds a special place in my heart and mind, so after joining Auditable I have been revisting my favorite books while I drive, so much better than the crap on the radio, I have found listening to it on Audiable was just as good if not better. I smiled, l laughed, I imagined.
Thank you and
Nice work Dean Koontz and Auditable.

Wonderful Book
I read this book when it first came out in the 80s. I loved it then and it was wonderful to revisit it now.

Still my favourite!
I too first read this book quite some years ago when my eyes worked well and I just loved it. Second time around it was just as good. Mr Koontz is brilliant!

Don't judge this cover
The cover is lame. But the story is actually really enjoyable, great character development, some horror,some science gone wrong,a serial killer , a bit of love, a dog that can communicate and has great Intelligence and a bunch of people after him. Overall 3.5/5
