Breathless

Breathless

There’s little about carpenter Grady Adams, a strong and gentle man who lives a solitary life deep in the Colorado mountains, to suggest the experiences that alienated him from society. But the day he comes upon a pair of magnificent furry animals that are clearly from an unknown species, everything changes. Grady is intrigued, to say the least, and after a few more encounters he manages to befriend the enchanting creatures. By that time he’s enlisted his friend, veterinarian Camellia “Cammy” Rivers, to help him observe their actions. Yet neither Grady nor Cammy are aware that they, too, are being watched. There couldn’t be a more apt title for Dean Koontz’s new edge-of-the-seat thrill ride than Breathless. For Grady feels the wind knocked out of him when, out of the blue, his home and untold miles of surrounding wilderness are put under strict quarantine by a virtual army of close-mouthed government operatives. But we’re the ones left gasping by a stunning, unforeseen event that convinces Grady and Cammy to do the unthinkable: to escape, taking the two creatures they’ve adopted and feel they must protect at all costs on a riveting race for freedom.
