Publisher's Synopsis
"Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler" THE TIMES On the morning that will mark the end of the world they have known, Molly and Neil Sloan awaken to the drumbeat of rain. They find an eerily luminous and silver downpour that drenches their small Californian mountain town. As hours pass, they hear news of extreme weather phenomena across the globe. An obscuring fog turns once familiar streets into a ghostly labyrinth. By evening, the town has lost all communication with the outside world. The young couple gathers together with some neighbours, sensing a threat they cannot even imagine. The night brings strange noises, and mysterious lights drift among the trees. At dawn, the small band will encounter something that reveals in a terrifying instant what is happening to the world.
