(190) Watchers by Dean Koontz

I think I wrote a blog on another book of Dean Koontz quite some time back. There is a list of 39 books by him, he is indeed a most prolific author. Watchers is his 11th book. It is the second I have come across.

He writes well. By looking at the many titles he chose, I would guess that he sells horror tales. But no, he claimed he regretted writing Phantoms because most people classified it as horror but he preferred to think of it as a science fiction. I guess those who look for thrills could see it as a horror story while others could logically log it as a sci-fi.

In our world, there are many happenings that cannot be measured by science. Hence we have the supernatural as well as meta-physics. Yet cutting edge science is approaching to the capability of playing the role of our creator. We need to be afraid of what greedy and mad scientists could produce in the name of science. We have just passed the supposed the end of the world scare predicted by the Mayan calendar. When will that be, no one knows! Only we are racing towards it by destroying the earth.
