![]() ![]() ![]() The Wire is a way that the dogs telepathically communicate over distances. Known as the Mysterium, a special group of dogs have evolved human levels of intelligence, but with no verbal means to communicate. A golden retriever named Kipp meets a genius-level autistic boy named Woody Bookman, and their relationship propels the evolution of an extraordinary means of communicating. He develops the idea of a telepathic connection between the species, evolving after our long relationship, aiding each others’ survival and well being. In Devoted, Koontz explores the connection between dogs and man. ![]() See my earlier review of Koontz’s Jane Hawk series, as well. He is not unrealistic, however bad things happen to good people, and sometimes they have to pay a great price for their heroic efforts. Bad guys get the consequences they deserve, good guys typically succeed at thwarting evil, and protecting the innocent. He is obviously a moral writer, without being preachy. Beyond this, his books have a moral grounding, are thematically rooted with a particular philosophy. Part thrilling suspense, part science fiction, Koontz is a master of creating believable characters, and setting multiple plots in motion that converge and collide in unpredictable ways that keep the reader rapidly turning pages, craving a satisfactory end to the roller coaster ride. Koontz’s novels defy pigeon-holing in one genre. ![]()
