“The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works.

First name Odd, last name Thomas. This quirky and touching story of a 20-year-old short-order cook with paranormal abilities is spun with stylistic grace by Dean Koontz, and read in an innocent, unaffected style by David Aaron Baker. The plot is clean and simple, as is the recording quality, yet Odd's bewitching world becomes more and more engrossing. Baker maintains Odd's quiet passion and integrity while death, violence, and heartbreak hover around him. As you listen, you will visualize the everyday people this psychic loves as clearly as he can, and with similar compassion. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
