When Molly and Neil woke up one morning, the town was engulfed in a strange rain.
The rain was strangely luminous and scented. And there is something eerily evil about this rain. Gradually the communication with the rest of the world starts to breakdown. Telephone lines, televisions, even the internet. Leaving their house, Molly and Neil gathered with neighbours and residents from the same town, trying to seek support from numbers. Being as clueless about the situation as everyone else, they know what they need to do - to rescue any children stranded in this horrendous rain.
The build up of the story was good. I was waiting to see what Koontz can pull out from his magical hat this time, but the ending was more philosophical than a final showdown between Humans and the evil beings. Though I thought the ending seems a bit idealistic, it was indeed a refeshing change. Once again Konntz prove that you can never guess his ending till you read the end of the book.
