<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Two years after the cataclysmic events that sent him journeying into mystery, Odd Thomas, the intrepid fry cook who sees the dead and tries to help them, has traveled full circle, back to his beloved home town of Pico Mundo and the people he loves. He has come to save them--and perhaps humanity--from the full flowering of evil it is his destiny to confront, as he draws ever closer to the truth of the world and his place in it. Stronger, wiser than he started, and with the help of the friends he has made along the way, Odd prepares to confront the terrible forces arrayed against him and possibly to journey still farther, to his long-awaited reunion with his lost love, Stormy Llewellyn"--Provided by publisher. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - <b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <i>SUSPENSE MAGAZINE -</i></b> Includes Dean Koontz's short story "You Are Destined to Be Together Forever"--its first time in print!</b> <p/>From "one of the master storytellers of this or any age" (<i>The Tampa Tribune</i>) comes the stunning final adventure of "one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction"(<i>The Virginian-Pilot</i>)--as Dean Koontz brings the unforgettable odyssey of Odd Thomas to its dazzling conclusion.<br> <b> </b><br> Odd Thomas is back where it all started . . . because the time has come to finish it. Since he left his simple life in the small town of Pico Mundo, California, his journey has taken him to places strange and wonderful, mysterious and terrifying. Across the land, in the company of mortals and spirits alike, he has known kindness and cruelty, felt love and loss, saved lives and taken them--as he's borne witness to humanity's greatest good and darkest evil. Again and again, he has gone where he must and done what he had to do--for better or worse--with his courage and devotion sorely tested, and his soul forever changed. Every triumph has been hard won. Each sacrifice has taken its toll. <p/> Now, whatever destiny drives him has finally steered his steps home, where those he cares for most surround him, the memory of his tragically lost true love haunts him, and one last challenge--vast and dreadful--awaits him. For Odd Thomas, born to serve a purpose far greater than himself, the wandering is done. Only the reckoning remains. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Saint Odd</i></b> <p/> "Equal parts supernatural thriller, cultural satire, character study, bildungsroman, offbeat love story, road trip, spiritual meditation, and apocalyptic adventure, the Odd Thomas books . . . are more than irresistible page-turners.
