They're Back!
Sometimes You Should Be Afraid of the Dark
A child is dragged kicking and screaming into the wilderness. Livestock is brutally butchered. Pets vanish without a trace. Something is terrorizing Parkland. That "something" is a pack of wolves, residents believe. The most persecuted and misunderstood animals in history, wolves had not lived in this area of Missouri for more than a century. But just a few weeks before Christmas, they are back.
Only Richard, Bonnie, and Thomas believe the wolves are not to blame. They join forces to speak out for the animals that cannot speak for themselves and find out the truth behind the reign of terror.
In a unique twist, wolves are the main characters in several of the chapters, as they hunt, court, explore their new surroundings, and care for one another. Ultimately, the man who champions the wolves is, in turn, saved by the pack that adopts him as one of its own.
This fast-paced eco-thriller is seasoned with mystery, romance, and humor, as well as a sprinkle of Native American mysticism and the supernatural.
Industry Reviews
"Wow, what a ride! This book took me on a nostalgic journey back to when I first discovered the adrenaline-fueled excitement of a well written thriller. Just like the other reviews, I felt that kindred storytelling magic of Koontz. With characters and scenes laid out in such a perfect way that keeps everything connected, it pulls you further in with every turn of the page. Delicious bad guys and wholesome good guys combined with wolves and real-world locations makes for one amazing story!"---- Amazon 5-star review
"If you are a lover of Dean Koontz style of writing, you will absolutely love this book! This story has many different levels of intensity with comedy, emotions, evil and incredible suspense! Robert gives all characters in this book a voice, including the wolves! Amazing! The story and characters are all woven together so nicely; that you feel like you are THERE and can't wait to see how they unwind. The spiritual, mysterious parts are the cherry on top for me. Even in the horror he writes so well, there is an unexplainable magic that runs through this book, and I am truly anxious for Robert U. Montgomery's next fiction production. I loved it." --- Amazon 5-star review
"If you like wolves or nature, this is a must read. The characters are well developed. The scenes are so descriptive, it feels like you are right there inside the story. I had a difficult time putting this book down." --- Amazon 5-star review
