The Taking: Dean Koontz
$7.00Molly and Neil Sloan wake to find an eerie luminescent downpour drenching their small Californian mountain town. As the rain continues to fall, the TV relays disturbing news of extreme weather phenomena across the world. With the evening comes a ghostly fog. First the TV, then the radio...and then the internet and phone lines go dead. Molly and Neil gather with their neighbours sensing an awful danger approaching with the night. It's like a scary movie made real. But what is really happening? Is it science gone wrong? A technology in advance of human understanding? Or something deeper, more fundamental - to do with fate and purpose... -

Formerly a Palace eunuch, Kazdim was now Chief of the Secret Police – a job which admirably suited his depraved personal tastes...Illustrated by Steve Henderson. -
