Odd apocalypse : an Odd Thomas novel

Odd Thomas sees dead people. They cannot speak to him nor do him harm; but still, it's unnerving, living between two worlds, standing against our darkest fears. Just off California's Pacific Coast Highway stands Roseland: a mansion, protected by high walls. Odd finds refuge there, with the very pregnant, and very mysterious, Annamarie, taken in by the reclusive Noah Wolflaw, a retired hedge-fund manager. But the house contains terrible and bloody secrets. It is haunted by lingering spirits, and by the nameless beasts which lurk in the grounds, riding the shifting tides of time. Odd believes his role in the world is to root out evil and to bring peace to the wronged dead. But lately, he has suffered dreams of doom and terror. Roseland has welcomed him in ... but will it ever let him leave?

  • "Odd Thomas ist zurück! Eigentlich ist Odd Thomas ein bescheidener, sympathischer Schnellimbisskoch. Doch er hat besondere Fähigkeiten: Er kann die Geister der Toten sehen. Diesmal ist es eine ermordete Frau, die seine Hilfe sucht. Er soll ihren kleinen Sohn retten - vor dem eigenen Vater. Schon bald merkt Odd, dass noch viel mehr Menschenleben auf dem Spiel stehen. Gemeinsam mit seiner hochschwangeren Begleiterin Annamaria gelangt Odd Thomas auf den Landsitz eines mächtigen Filmproduzenten. Da Odd geradezu körperlich angezogen wird von dunklen Geheimnissen und unmenschlicher Gewalt, überrascht ihn eine unheilvolle Geistererscheinung dort nicht: Eine ermordete Frau erscheint ihm und fleht ihn an, ihr Kind zu retten, das in tödlicher Gefahr schwebt. Also durchstreift Odd das Anwesen, findet aber zunächst statt eines Kindes nur weitere Schrecken: ein Mausoleum voller ermordeter Frauen, am helllichten Tag einbrechende Nacht und dunkle, menschenähnliche Kreaturen, die gnadenlos Jagd auf ihn machen. Offensichtlich hat sich der Hausherr mit bösen Kräften verbunden. Aber zu welchem Zweck? Als Odd Thomas seinen Schützling endlich findet, erkennt er, dass nicht nur Timothys und sein Leben in Gefahr ist. Sondern das unendlich vieler Menschen. Dean Koontz wurde 1945 in Pennsylvania geboren und lebt heute mit seiner Frau in Kalifornien. Seine zahlreichen Romane - Thriller und Horrorromane - wurden in 38 Sprachen übersetzt und sämtlich zu internationalen Bestsellern. Weltweit wurden bislang 400 Millionen Exemplare seiner Bücher verkauft. Zuletzt bei Heyne erschienen: 'Der Rabenmann'"

In their remote California mountain town, they learn from their television of enormous waterspouts and blizzards around the globe; then, the television ceases, as do all other forms of communication with the outside world. The Sloans are left, together with their neighbors, in the midst of a purple fog, disturbed by a threat they cannot identify or understand. Together they discover that the world is being prepared for beings other than themselves--beings with vast technological powers at their disposal, who will stop at nothing to hunt them down and kill them all."

The woman astride the ghostly mount reaches out desperately, the latest spirit to enlist the aid of Odd Thomas, the unassuming young fry cook whose gift--or curse--it is to see the shades of the restless dead, and to help them when he can.
