Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling and emotionally powerful novel from the author of the Jane Hawk series
“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
His birth was marked by wonder and tragedy. He sees beauty and terror beyond our deepest dreams. His story will change the way you see the world.
Bartholomew Lampion is born on a day of tragedy and terror that will mark his family forever. All agree that his unusual eyes are the most beautiful they have ever seen. On this same day, a thousand miles away, a ruthless man learns that he has a mortal enemy named Bartholomew. He embarks on a relentless search to find this enemy, a search that will consume his life. And a girl is born from a brutal rape, her destiny mysteriously linked to Barty and the man who stalks him.
At the age of three, Barty Lampion is blinded when surgeons remove his eyes to save him from a fast-spreading cancer. As he copes with his blindness and proves to be a prodigy, his mother counsels him that all things happen for a reason and that every person’s life has an effect on every other person’s, in often unknowable ways.
At thirteen, Bartholomew regains his sight. How he regains it, why he regains it, and what happens as his amazing life unfolds and entwines with others results in a breathtaking journey of courage, heart-stopping suspense, and high adventure.
Critic reviews
“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
“May be Koontz’s crowning achievement . . . In this first-rate thriller, nonstop action keeps on turning the pages.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

The twists and turns keep you gripped and enthralled
I’ve read this book many years ago, however, I’d forgotten most of the plot. To be able to sit back and listen to the magical story unfold, brought everything back into life in my imagination, and reminded me why I originally fell in love with this book many years ago!

Dean Koontz you have been in my life as an author since I was listening to AC/DC at age 13. I'm now 54 and still listening to them but also soaking up all of these new books you've written. Thee words don't exist to describe how totally amazing they are!!! Thank you!!!

Epic and Extraordinary
This is a literary work of art. Complex. Deep. A tapestry of every hue. It made me laugh out loud in places and weep in others. I was captured in chapter 1 through to the last paragraph. The characters are rich and 3 dimensional, beautifully brought to life and expressed by the reader.
The best book I have disappeared into in a long time.
This author never fails to educate and entertain. Don’t miss this one.

Original, Fascinating, Thought Provoking
A crackerjack of a story. Always surprising. A villain to top all villains, charming and unusual heroes, unexpected love pairings and a soupçon of quantum physics to boot. Unparalleled writing that makes you laugh and cry and glory in the human condition.
