Strangers

By Dean Koontz

Several people around the US experience fear-based phenomena in their daily lives, and they are all blocking out a particular series of days. When they start to remember things, they converge on a motel in Nevada to exchange stories, which leads their memories to come flooding back. They all were witness to an event that has been covered up.

A couple of them have gained supernatural abilities as a result of the event. When the full details come to light, they make a plan to uncover this event and get it out in the open. But the people who brainwashed them and repressed their memories know what they are planning to do and work to stop them from accomplishing this goal.

This was a suspenseful story that slowly builds tension through the ensemble cast's various fears and memories. I enjoyed the plot and the characters, who were all different and contributed to the story in their own important ways. It was a story that asks if we are ready for life beyond what we know and what could result from that contact. I really enjoyed it.

Easy 4 stars.
