Dean Koontz's unique talent for writing terrifying thrillers with a heart and soul is nowhere more evident than in this latest suspense masterpiece that pits one man against the ultimate deadline. If there were speed limits for the sheer pulse-racing excitement allowed in one novel, Velocity would break them all. Get ready for the ride of your life. Velocity Bill Wile is an easygoing, hardworking guy who leads a quiet, ordinary life. But that is about to change. One evening, after his usual eight-hour bartending shift, he finds a typewritten note under the windshield wiper of his car. If you don't take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have four hours to decide. The choice is yours. It seems like a sick joke, and Bill's friend on the police force, Lanny Olson, thinks so too. His advice to Bill is to go home and forget about it. Besides, what could they do even if they took the note seriously? No crime has actually been committed. But less than twenty-four hours later, a young blond schoolteacher is found murdered, and it's Bill's fault: he didn't convince the police to get involved. Now he's got another note, another deadline, another ultimatum...and two new lives hanging in the balance. Suddenly Bill's average, seemingly innocuous life takes on the dimensions and speed of an accelerating nightmare. Because the notes are coming faster, the deadlines growing tighter, and the killer becoming bolder and crueler with every communication--until Bill is isolated with the terrifying knowledge that he alone has the power of life and death over a psychopath's innocent victims. Until the struggle between good and evil is intensely personal. Until the most chilling words of all are: The choice is yours.

I think like all of his books, this book is amazing. It keep you in the edge of your seat, it has a lot of details and you cant wait to turn the page. I couldnt even put the book down and i got so into it that i started having dreams about it. its funy because they were more like nightmares but it was due to the fact that i was very interested in it. Good book! you have to read it.

Couldn't put it down
The story is great, fast paced and full of intriguing twists and turns. Loved all the details about the characters and circumstances. Didn't leave any loose ends, which for me is always a plus with suspense thrillers.

Keeps you till the end
This book really was freaky...which is great in a suspensful thriller! The thought of having no choice except the choice of which person dies weighs on your brain like any big scary monster could. When you are reading this book you will find your self thinking, "I cannot believe this guy just did that" throughout the book. Read this one...what a wonderful ride you will have!
