NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER โข NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SUSPENSE MAGAZINE โขย Includes Dean Koontzโs short story โYou Are Destined to Be Together Foreverโ
From โone of the master storytellers of this or any ageโ (The Tampa Tribune) comes the stunning final adventure of โone of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fictionโ(The Virginian-Pilot)โas Dean Koontz brings the unforgettable odyssey of Odd Thomas to its dazzling conclusion.
ย
Odd Thomas is back where it all started . . . because the time has come to finish it. Since he left his simple life in the small town of Pico Mundo, California, his journey has taken him to places strange and wonderful, mysterious and terrifying. Across the land, in the company of mortals and spirits alike, he has known kindness and cruelty, felt love and loss, saved lives and taken themโas heโs borne witness to humanityโs greatest good and darkest evil.ย Again and again, he has gone where he must and done what he had to doโfor better or worseโwith his courage and devotion sorely tested, and his soul forever changed. Every triumph has been hard won. Each sacrifice has taken its toll.
ย
Now, whatever destiny drives him has finally steered his steps home, where those he cares for most surround him, the memory of his tragically lost true love haunts him, and one last challengeโvast and dreadfulโawaits him. For Odd Thomas, born to serve a purpose far greater than himself, the wandering is done. Only the reckoning remains.
Praise for Saint Odd
ย
โEqual parts supernatural thriller, cultural satire, character study, bildungsroman, offbeat love story, road trip, spiritual meditation, and apocalyptic adventure, the Odd Thomas books . . . are more than irresistible page-turners. They are intimate, haunting, often heartrending, exhilarating, and beautifully composed.โโBiography.com

โOdd Thomas is such an endearing and likable character and, more than anything else, has been the reason for the success of the series. . . . For readers who have been with Odd all along, Saint Odd will satisfy.โโBookreporter
