After Death

De: Dean Koontz

Narrado por: Edoardo Ballerini

A modern-day Lazarus is humanity’s last hope in a breathtaking novel about the absolute powers of good and evil by Dean Koontz, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.

Michael Mace, head of security at a top-secret research facility, opens his eyes in a makeshift morgue twenty-four hours following an event in which everyone perished—including him and his best friend, Shelby Shrewsberry.

Having awakened with an extraordinary ability unlike anything he—or anyone else—has ever imagined, Michael is capable of being as elusive as a ghost. He sets out to honor his late friend by helping Nina Dozier and her son, John, whom Shelby greatly admired. Although what Michael does for Nina is life changing, his actions also evoke the wrath of John’s father, a member of one of the most violent street gangs in Los Angeles.

But an even greater threat is descending: the Internal Security Agency’s most vicious assassin, Durand Calaphas. Calaphas will stop at nothing to get his man. If Michael dies twice, he will not live a third time.

From the tarnished glamour of Beverly Hills to the streets of South Central to a walled estate in Rancho Santa Fe, only Michael can protect Nina and John—and ensure that light survives in a rapidly darkening world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Koontz's latest thriller is superbly narrated by Edoardo Ballerini.… Narrating largely from Mace's point of view, Ballerini portrays him as an unflappable, stoic loner who helps a single mother and her son escape the grasp of the boy's father, a vicious L.A. gangbanger…. Ballerini's performance of the cat-and-mouse game between Mace and Calaphas is riveting.”—AudioFile Magazine, Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award

“A master of the suspense thriller genre, After Death is still another brilliant, original, memorable, and entertaining novel [from] master storyteller Dean Koontz. Deftly narrated by voice actor Edoardo Ballierini, …[this] will have a special appeal for fans of conspiracy thrillers and science fiction adventures.”—Midwest Book Review

“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

Interesting

Dean may be the last writer left who does not write woke. I love who he has evolved into. How I wish that this book could become truth.

What if?

An interesting look at what might be if a man/woman, or somehow combined with nano tech. As always, positives and negatives. Good characters, exciting action, good versus evil, with realistic scenes, making you wonder who will come out on top.!

Koontz is back!

This book was classic Dean Koontz with his signature take on science and tech, and good vs evil. I really enjoyed this novel but then again, I always enjoy Koontz’s novels.

Loved it!!

I just love this author so much and just the way that he writes this is just another successful novel in my opinion!!

Loved This Book!

I loved this book almost as much as I loved House at the End of the World. The plot was enthralling and Koontz’s alliteration rarely disappoints me. Also, the performance was spot on.

Dean Koontz shines

Don’t know how he continues to produce such quality work novel after novel. He has great scene description with wonderful detail but doesn’t seem to have a formula besides irrational evil exists. And good will overcome.

Great Read!

I absolutely loved this book! The premise of the story was interesting, I liked the development of the characters and I even loved the ending, The only thing is, I hope this is not where the story really ends because I can see this continuing.

Fell short for me….

I pre-ordered this title and probably had high expectations. Too high. The story was just “okay” and the narrator wasn’t my favorite. Just didn’t seem like classic “edge of your seat” Koontz.

Unique and Interesting

This was an interesting listen; a uniquely creative take on how we could possibly save the World from those without truth.

Not my favorite Dean Koontz

Did not hold my attention, and in general I enjoy Dean Koontz. Wanted give up part way through.
