About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz’s brilliantly thrilling novel of suspense.

In the midst of a raging blizzard, lightning struck on the night Laura Shane was born. And a mysterious blond-haired stranger showed up just in time to save her from dying.

Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. Is he the guardian angel he seems? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond all time and space?

“A gripping novel...fast-paced and satisfying.” - People

Good for anyone that likes to puzzle it out as they read or get their head around a logistical plot. That's not me. I like an easier, fluent read.

The story is hugely far-fetched and the history at best dodgy. Equally the narrator is struggling a bit with his accents but boy what fun! :D

Guilty pleasure.

An enjoyably silly yarn from Koontz with a few interesting takes on how time travel might work. Perfect for the car.

Enjoyable

At first the narrators voice really got on my nerves,but you soon see past it as you get involved in the book. A fantastic story that will completely grip you. From beginning to end.

Fabulous

Another great book by Dean Koontz. The audio equivalent of a page turner.
My favourite D.K. book was and remains "Watchers". I first read it in my 20's, I'm now in my mid 50's. It was also my first audiobook. Thankfully it is wonderfully narrated.
I binge read D.K.'s books in my 20's including this one and it's a very challenging book to narrate. This narrator is a genius! I'm blown away by how convincingly he voices the MANY characters, his perfect pacing of the story and the passion of his storytelling. This is the best audiobook I have EVER listened to.
I listen to most of my Audiobooks on my Amazon Echo. There are a treasured few that are so good I buy them in CD format as well as digital. I can hold this one in my hand. No breakdown of internet supply can stop me from listening to this gem. I promise you will not regret purchasing this title. Enjoy!

A Truly Wonderful Experience! Buy this audiobook.

Great fast paced Sci Fi from Dean Koontz. The story is action packed and creates believable characters.

Classic Koontz

What made the experience of listening to Lightning the most enjoyable?

As ever Dean's ability to transport the reader into the book and let us feel as if we are living it was excellent.

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

He read well. I enjoyed listening to him and will hope he reads more of Dean's books.

Fabulous!

I am a big Koontz fan, have been for years since I found Fear Nothing and I started down the huge list of books of his.
This is not one of my favorites.
The performance is very good, the story is ok but just ok.

Ok...
