With alien-angels versus many colorful layers of evil (kind of like Neapolitan Ice Cream), Dean Koontz's writing is true-to-form, comfortable and in a familiar, par-level groove. This problem-themed story contains several intricate and interesting characters who narrowly escape death about every fifteen pages (until the last chapter when they escape every fifteen sentences or so). Although nothing new for quality Koontz, it also -- however -- contains nothing surprisingly unexpected or extremely engrossing. A 'quick read' which is skillfully crafted and enjoyable; don't spend more than a buck for the paperback at a used book store if it is not available for free at your local library.
