Plot Summary of Fear Nothing
"When Christopher Snow discovers something weird is going down in Moonlight Bay, California, he searches for the truth. The deeper he goes, however, the more his life, and the lives of those he loves, is in danger. "
Monica Hughes, Resident Scholar

"This and Seize The Night are my faveorite books.Cristopher Snow is the most compelling person I have ever read about in a book.Also Sasha,Bobby and Orson,Snows dog, are also very easy to like and to root for.The Government is a popular villan in Koonts' books and this one is no exception.I like to read a book knowing little or nothing about it.I will go on a friend's recomendation or as in Koontz' case just likeing the author.So I don't like to tell people too much about a book I have read.Cristopher Snow has a rare skin disorder that makes him unable to be in sunlight,at all.So he spends his time outside at night.
He uncovers a problem with some of the residents of Moonlight Bay and with the help of Sasha,Bobby and Orson,a VERY special dog,he try's to get to the bottom of it....
Word has it that part three is coming out in early 2002...I can't wait...."

Jack Masterson, Resident Scholar

"Character interaction & suspense were thrilling. Mr Koontz is never predictable."
DD, Resident Scholar
