About this listen
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling and emotionally powerful novel from the author of the Jane Hawk series
“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
His birth was marked by wonder and tragedy. He sees beauty and terror beyond our deepest dreams. His story will change the way you see the world.
Bartholomew Lampion is born on a day of tragedy and terror that will mark his family forever. All agree that his unusual eyes are the most beautiful they have ever seen. On this same day, a thousand miles away, a ruthless man learns that he has a mortal enemy named Bartholomew. He embarks on a relentless search to find this enemy, a search that will consume his life. And a girl is born from a brutal rape, her destiny mysteriously linked to Barty and the man who stalks him.
At the age of three, Barty Lampion is blinded when surgeons remove his eyes to save him from a fast-spreading cancer. As he copes with his blindness and proves to be a prodigy, his mother counsels him that all things happen for a reason and that every person’s life has an effect on every other person’s, in often unknowable ways.
At thirteen, Bartholomew regains his sight. How he regains it, why he regains it, and what happens as his amazing life unfolds and entwines with others results in a breathtaking journey of courage, heart-stopping suspense, and high adventure.

Critic reviews
“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
“May be Koontz’s crowning achievement . . . In this first-rate thriller, nonstop action keeps on turning the pages.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

Very engaging
At no point was a able to predict where this story was going, a great mixture of shock and intrigue . Dean koontz writes a worryingly good psychopath!

Time flies by.
More memorable characters from Mr Koontz and a thoroughly enjoyable listen. Not his best work but that does not detract from it being an exceptional tale.

Oh my goodness
I just was so captivated by the story and the plot line, the narrator just was so good with his voice characterisation and again had me nervously worrying over what would happen next !!
I loved the audible book and the story and the characters were just so right, such a damn good listen

The twists and turns keep you gripped and enthralled
I’ve read this book many years ago, however, I’d forgotten most of the plot. To be able to sit back and listen to the magical story unfold, brought everything back into life in my imagination, and reminded me why I originally fell in love with this book many years ago!

Up there in my top 5!
Absolutely loved everything about this. The narration was brilliant, it was tense, witty, exciting and the characters were likeable. I can’t wait to start my next Koontz book
