"Since his wife, Michelle, left seven years ago, Jeffy Coltrane has worked to maintain a normal life for himself and his eleven-year-old daughter, Amity, in Suavidad Beach. It's a quiet life, until a local eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep. Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object-something he calls "the key to everything"-and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth. The device allows them to jump between parallel planes at once familiar and bizarre, wondrous and terrifying. And Jeffy and Amity can't help but wonder, could Michelle be just a click away? Jeffy and Amity aren't the only ones interested in the device."--provided by publisher. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The Coltranes are given a box containing the device by (its then unknown) creator, Ed Harkenbach, a strange, but friendly homeless person who attaches himself to the duo. Harkenbach tells Jeffy that he's being pursued by government agents and to hide the box and never open it. Jeffy doesn't put much stock in what Ed tells him, playing it off rather as the ramblings of a disturbed person. Be that as it may though, he can't avoid the temptation regarding the box and ends up opening it. At that point, all hell breaks loose for this plot and readers are on a non-stop thrill ride until the final page.
Certainly, there are several instances where readers will need to suspend their disbelief, but Koontz does a solid job of keeping any unnecessary scientific jargon from clotting a fun literary adventure.
OK, so the government agent, John Falkirk, is a little over-the-top, but as Koontz fans know, that's another one of Dean's staples and shouldn't deter readers from enjoying the book from cover to cover.
Recommended to both Koontz fans and those who enjoy a good underdog story. (
