Summary: Vert good thriller. Koontz keeps crown
Comment: Californian Christopher Snow knows his hometown of Moonlight Bay better than anyone else as he has explored every nano-inch of the town during his nighttime sojourns. Chris suffers from a rare genetic disease that forces him to avoid light or risk death. However, the closed military base of nearby Fort Wyvern, one time host of nightmarish genetic experiments, is about the only locale in the area that Chris has failed to explore.
When children begin to disappear, Chris wonders if someone has reopened the fort's labs? Chris and his cohorts enter the fort in search of the missing children and his own lost canine Orson. Will Chris be able to abort the modern day experiments that appears to be planned on innocent children or is he also to become a victim s well?
SEIZE THE NIGHT, the second novel in Dean Koontz's "Snow" trilogy, is a classically frightening tale that shows the master remains the dean of horror novels. The story line is fast-paced, filled with action, and scary as hell. The return of Snow and his crew adds to the fun. Though not quite on the level of its predecessor, FEAR NOTHING (may be the best horror novel of the nineties), this book adds to the author's deserved legend. The novel also will leave readers in pain waiting for the final chapter to be published.

Summary: Christopher Snow Returns
Comment: Although not as suspenseful as "Fear Nothing", "Seize the Night" is a good sequel which picks up where "Fear Nothing" left off, with the hero, Chris Snow, still trying to piece together the mystery of his parents' deaths. This story focuses on the supposed accident -- now suicide (or even murder) -- of Snow's mother, a theoretical geneticist responsible for the "monkeys of the apocalypse", Orson (Snow's wonder dog), Mungojerrie (an 'enhanced' cat who takes center stage), and the "becoming" of several of the townspeople of Moonlight Bay, California. The plot is as follows: a child of a former lover of Snow, Lilly Wing, is abducted. Snow vows to find him, and restricted to nighttime searches because of his pigmentation disorder, he and his friends Bobby, Sasha, and Roosevelt Frost (an "animal communicator") discover that the supposedly closed military base, Fort Wyvern, not only dabbled in genetic experiementation, but time travel as well. The plot gets as murky as the night in places, and although the children -- and Orson, who ends up kidnapped as well -- are safely recovered, there are more questions than answers by the end of the book. No doubt, Christopher Snow will return to explain all to us. I will say that the dangling plot lines are a nice change from the novels where all questions are answered -- after all, none of our life experiences end, they just evolve...or perhaps "become" something else entirely.

Summary: There are Scary Creatures in the Night
Comment: This is the sequel to "Fear Nothing" which introduced Christopher Snow, who suffers from a rare, light-sensitive condition known as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). Light shortens his life, so he has to live in the dark, in the shadows. We also met Snow's, sharp as a tack girlfriend Sasha and his surfer pal Bobby. And of course we can't forget his genetically altered, very bright dog, Orson or the small seaside town of Moonlight Bay, where they all live.
Five-year-old Jimmy Wing is missing and Snow and his friends are concerned, especially Snow, because Jimmy's mother is a friend and a former lover. Soon they learn that Jimmy isn't the only missing child in Moonlight Bay and the clues seem to lead to Fort Wyvern, the base where a series of secret experiments years earlier left behind an assorted mix of genetic mutations - super-smart rhesus monkeys, snakes, coyotes and the occasional human, the occasional very strange human. And, of course, Orson, the intelligent pouch, is a result of those same experiments.
Snow's deceased mother had a lot to do with these experiments, which started out to be a search for a cure for genetic disorders, but Fort Wyvern is a military base, after all. Is it any wonder that the experiments turned to the dark side, any wonder that the super secret types would want to use genetics to turn out the perfect soldier.
In no time at all Snow and his pals are up against mutant creatures of several stripes, creatures that will give you the chilly whillies. But our gang of good guys fights on and perseveres to the end. However you won't have to fight on or persevere through this book that is so good that it seemed to be over before I started. Dean Koontz sure knows how to draw you into a story, how to tingle the imagination, chill the spine, speed up the pulse. Don't pass this one by.
