KM- Fear Nothing- Dean Koontz

I went back and read the prequal to the previously reviewed Seize the Night. As it turns out, Fear Nothing was just as good of a read, and I genuinely wish I'd read it first. There were a lot of details and back story that was quite important to the rest of the story.

This takes you back to the year previous to Seize the Night, when Chris Snow was dealing with the death of his father, the conspiracy surrounding his mother's work, and some shady characters in his quiet town. Moonlight Bay is, on the surface, a quiet, coastal town. Dig a little deeper, though, and you'll find strange things lurking beneath the surface of Fort Wyvern, a crooked police force, and many happenings that seem beyond belief (but in typical Koontz fashion, also seem totally believable). Here, you will be introduced to Sasha Goodall, Chris's dj/lover with an unknown past; Bobby Halloway, his best friend/surfer buddy (I must say, I picked up a lot of the surfer lingo); and Roosevelt & Mungojerrie, who are a team unlike any other. The light-hearted chatter among the characters bring a slightly lighter tone to the otherwise ominous story, and it's so intense that once you finish it, you'll nearly have to wipe the sand from the bottom of your feet from your beach runs with the crew.
