ODD HOURS #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER   Only a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Dean Koontz™s Odd Thomas is one such literary hero, who has come alive in readers™ imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is drawn onward, to a destiny he cannot imagine. Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems.
