Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling and emotionally powerful novel from the author of the Jane Hawk series
“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
His birth was marked by wonder and tragedy. He sees beauty and terror beyond our deepest dreams. His story will change the way you see the world.
Bartholomew Lampion is born on a day of tragedy and terror that will mark his family forever. All agree that his unusual eyes are the most beautiful they have ever seen. On this same day, a thousand miles away, a ruthless man learns that he has a mortal enemy named Bartholomew. He embarks on a relentless search to find this enemy, a search that will consume his life. And a girl is born from a brutal rape, her destiny mysteriously linked to Barty and the man who stalks him.
At the age of three, Barty Lampion is blinded when surgeons remove his eyes to save him from a fast-spreading cancer. As he copes with his blindness and proves to be a prodigy, his mother counsels him that all things happen for a reason and that every person’s life has an effect on every other person’s, in often unknowable ways.
At thirteen, Bartholomew regains his sight. How he regains it, why he regains it, and what happens as his amazing life unfolds and entwines with others results in a breathtaking journey of courage, heart-stopping suspense, and high adventure.

“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
“May be Koontz’s crowning achievement . . . In this first-rate thriller, nonstop action keeps on turning the pages.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

Oh my goodness
I just was so captivated by the story and the plot line, the narrator just was so good with his voice characterisation and again had me nervously worrying over what would happen next !!
I loved the audible book and the story and the characters were just so right, such a damn good listen

The twists and turns keep you gripped and enthralled
I’ve read this book many years ago, however, I’d forgotten most of the plot. To be able to sit back and listen to the magical story unfold, brought everything back into life in my imagination, and reminded me why I originally fell in love with this book many years ago!

Up there in my top 5!
Absolutely loved everything about this. The narration was brilliant, it was tense, witty, exciting and the characters were likeable. I can’t wait to start my next Koontz book

I am an avid listener of audio books but was becoming jaded by disappointment at my selections. My faith has been renewed by this fantastic book. I could not stop listening. The narration was excellent. The author is a genius. Thank you 😊

It was an Interesting story
I really enjoyed the story, although it did seem drawn out in the middle the near end of the of it was exciting and kept me listening. I did not like the word ‘negro’ being throwing around and said far too much. Made me uncomfortable hearing it. It was unnecessary, even though they did say it in those times. Koontz at his best as always!

Superb as always from Dean Koontz
One can get so absorbed in his stories because they are so well written. The narrator was also excellent.
