Cold Fire (Part 2) - Dean Koontz (CD)
Title: The Serpent on the Crown Title: Cold Fire Author: Dean Koontz Genre: Mystery / Thriller Format: CD, 12 CDs, (Unabridged) Part 2 of 2 Synopsis: Koontz ( The Bad Place ) leads us a nice chase for about two-thirds of his latest thriller, after which he sinks into soap opera. Responding to an inexplicable compulsion, ex-schoolteacher Jim Ironheart flies from Southern California to Portland, Ore., where he averts, at the last minute, the accidental death of a schoolboy. Local reporter Holly Thorne, taken with Jim's piercing gaze, sets up a computer search for data on similar rescues. She finds a dozen such cases across the U.S.; every news item mentions a mysterious ``Jim'' with penetrating eyes. As she follows the story of a lifetime, Holly realizes Jim is being guided by some strange Power. Confronting him, she finds he has no idea of the source of the Power. Now in love with Jim, Holly starts sharing his nightmares and abandons the story to help him. Their initially exciting adventures then yield to rather tepid encounters with ``The Friend,'' who may be: an alien on earth for 10,000 years; ``The Enemy'' in disguise; a projection of Jim's hyperkinetic personality; or all of the above. Suspense succumbs to psychobabble, ushering in a predictable ending. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club main selections; Mystery Guild featured alternate. Review: Dean R. Koontz, the author of Coldfire, keeps the reader mesmerized by the intriguing and somewhat complicated plot of his novel. About a man who can foresee the future and a girl who wants to get involved with him, this book will keep you flipping the pages from start to finish. It has everything you want from humor to horror and even a little passion and mystery for some of you. No matter who you are you wont be able to put this book down. It starts out when a small time reporter, Holly Thorne, watches as the hero of this story, Jim Ironheart, saves a schoolboy from being hit by a menacing drunk driver. Told in the first person point of view, the two characters switch off narrating their intertwined lives. As Holly starts to notice Jims life saving-habit, she decides to do some research on this modern day Superman. Finally after months of research, Holly learns of where this mysterious character, whose full name is James Madison Ironheart, lives. So when she gets to Laguna Hills, California, much to her dismay she fails to find him there. Little does she know he is in the middle of the Mojave dessert attempting to save a little girl and her mother from two armed robbers. When he comes back he is surprised to find the beautiful Holly Thorne sleeping on his doorstep. After a week she finally gets him to let her in. There they talk about her wanting to help him, but he says no. Even though they argued, they still made love later that night. Then after they save over half the passengers of a crashing plane, they decide that it is time to confront The Enemy. Next, they go to his hometow
