Dean Koontz, Dark Rivers of the Heart is a horror book with a difference.
The novel focuses on the relationship between several characters with their past lives being revealed in small chunks throughout the whole novel, leaving the reader confused and intrigued until the end.
With several ideas loosely based on true facts; satellites in the sky with an ability to monitor and destroy; undercover secret service teams acting on behalf of politicians and dealing with issues that would lead to normal governmental teams getting into major trouble and disrepute; the novel leaves the reader wondering what it actually happening within the World and whether in a few years there will be more issues like the ones described in the book leading to more families and individuals disappearing, knowing that the legal system would not be able to help them.
The story follows three main sets of characters and throughout keeps swapping between the characters giving an update on what they are doing and thinking. Written in third person it allows the reader to gain useful insight into the character thoughts and feelings, whilst also holding information back and allowing some of the characters to appear psychotic.
Overall, the novel is worth a read, although don't expect to be to scared, just maybe slightly confused.
