This story grabs you from page one as most of Koontz's books do. Holly Thorne, a disallusioned reporter for a Portland, Oregon newspaper, witnesses Jim Ironheart save a young boy from certain death. He just seems to appear out of nowhere and saves the boy. She is intrigued, especially when she finds out he isn't even from the area. Jim lives in California. So what was he doing in Portland at the exact moment needed to save the boy from a runaway pickup truck? There are so many twists and turns to this story it is hard to focus on what are the most important elements. It turns out that Jim hears voices and gets premonitions of people that are going to die, and he rescues them, no matter where they are. What kind of gift is this? Jim doesn't know. In fact, most of the time he doesn't know where he is going or whom he is going to save. Holly has her work cut out for her if she is going to discover the truth. And what does the windmill have to do with all this? It turns out the windmill is almost at the hub of the story. Read it and enjoy. I did.
