Huge thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for allowing me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.

This series has blown me away. I am huge fan of Koontz’s writing, and although the story is pretty far fetched, Koontz has a way of making this story and the characters completely believable. In this final chapter of the phenomenal series, Jane is once again battling the Arcadians in a bid to protect her little boy, and bring a stop to those in power. There a few different storylines going on in this novel, and they all culminate to one amazing ending. The only bad thing about this novel is that it’s over. I could definitely continue reading more novels in this series.

What a stunning conclusion to a fantastic series! I kind of hope he finds a way to bring Jane back! I'm so glad the "old" Dean Koontz is back with fully fleshed out characters, worlds and none of the shortcuts that had made reading some of his work from the last decade a true trial.

This series was worthy of Watchers, Lightning, and so many of the early works that made me fall in love with Dean. This made me fall in love all over again!

Jane Hawk is back in The Night Window, the 4th and final book of the series, and what a stunning and creative finale it is! Jane has been on the run from those in the government and other institutions who want to control the minds of others and relieve them of all independence. Jane has only 2 goals in life: the first to ensure the safety of her son Travis and those around him who would dearly like to take him and use him as a tool to get to Jane, and second, to expose and topple the evil known as the Arcadians, who have taken over peoples minds. Joining Jane in The Night Window is Vikram Rangnekar, formerly a coworker at the FBI and genius hacker. Along the way there are countless other unexpected heroes who help in Jane's quest to rid America of those who would destroy it.

The Night Window is suspenseful and fast paced; I couldn't put it down and read most of it in a single airplane ride. The faith and courage of those Jane meets along the way gave me hope that Jane would beat the Arcadians. The Night Window is an exciting and thrilling end to the series, but I hope that Dean Koontz will find something else for Jane to do, as she's too good a heroine to put on the shelf!

First, thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the Advance Readers Copy of THE NIGHT WINDOW. The final book in the Jane Hawk series provided a fitting conclusion to the series, wrapping up the 5-book saga in an ever-so-satisfying ending. The nanobot conspiracy comes to a head, the architect is revealed, and a new hero emerges to help Jane in her quest. Favorite characters from past book make appearances, most notably Bernie and Cornell, as well as the ever-present Travis. As we have come to expect from Dean Koontz, the book was masterfully written, and accelerates from the first page to it's satisfying conclusion. One of the best multi-book series I've read.

Another amazing Jane Hawk novel. While the journey was a bit long at times, I was happy to see some closure at the end of this great story.

I’m happy this case has concluded. In this author’s hands I read all of it but the Chase got a bit redundant to me. My favorite parts were with Jane’s friends taking care of her son. Those characters shine. The conclusion is masterful

Thank you netgalley for the privilege of the advanced reader copy of The Night Window for a fair review. I couldn't wait for the final book in the Jane Hawk series.
I absolutely love her as a character. She and her misfit group of friends are believable and loveable themselves. They have taken Jane and Travis in as a part of their lives and they in turn have taken them into their family. The ending was a little run of the mill.

Koontz brings Jane Hawk back to life again in The Night Window. An engrossing read from start to finish!

This fourth and final book in the Jane Hawk saga is perhaps the best of the bunch, and that is saying a lot. Hawk has been working hard to expose the Techno Arcadeans, The Arcadeans have create a serum that can set up in the brains neuro pathways and there by control a persons actions. Persons who differ from Arcadian ideals are on the group’s Hamet list. They are assassinated or ‘treated’ and then directed to commit suicide, usually taking a maximum number of others with them. Jane’s husband was part of the later group. She feels certain his death was not a suicide and while investigating suddenly finds herself accused of his murder and on the run.

The Night Window wraps up the storyline thru three different storylines. In one a young filmmaker is trapped in a death match with the head Arcadian. In another Jane’s young son is shielded by an autistic man and an elderly wig maker, and in the last Jane herself works with genius who originally created the nanotechnology trying hard to bring the scheme crashing down.

Joints uses his writing skills to create such intricate characters and wraps the reader into the story. There were times when I felt I was reading some of the best work I’d seen in years. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I think you will. Thank you Mr Koontz for this amazing series.

What a deliciously satisfying - if a bit deus ex machina-reliant - conclusion to this incredible series!

I loved Jane Hawk from the moment I met her. Her willingness to fight the good fight against absolutely impossible odds was endearing and the way she always managed to find someone - often at the least likely but most opportune time - willing to do battle with her gave me hope for the ability of light to defeat dark even when such defeat seems not only improbably but nigh on impossible. The books got steadily darker and more gruesome and I have to admit that I was not a huge fan of the previous installment (The Forbidden Door) for precisely that reason. It felt like things were being drawn out past believability for the story and into the grounds of sensationalism purely to keep readers reading.

When this final book was announced I was a little on edge - uncertain whether things would be able to tidy themselves into any kind of satisfying resolution given the taste in my mouth after TFD. I should have trusted Dean Koontz, of course, because he did what he always does - found a way through the dark that felt possible, probable, and credible even in its most bizarre moments.

There is still a heavy brush of darkness here. There would have to be, given the build up and the point of the series. But there are enough moments of hope and optimism, even if offered only as a candle flicker on a pitch-black night, that when things all came together in the end, it felt right. I mentioned a deus ex machina (god in the machine). To me, there is a major character in this book (I don't want to name him/her for spoiler effect) who felt like the DEM in this series. He/She was introduced early on but largely fell off the radar. His/her appearance here felt a little too convenient, particularly given the skill set and possibilities that were brought into play by the reappearance. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it all play out and frankly can't imagine how on earth Koontz could have pulled it all together in the end without said reappearance, so it worked for me on the whole.

This was a very satisfying and high-octane ending to a generally marvelously creepy, horrifying, and ultimately uplifting story about the battle between good and evil...

Although I didn't read the first novel in this series, I've read each of the four following novels.

About the series: "Groundbreaking, wholly involving, eerily prescient and terrifyingly topical, Dean Koontz's Jane Hawk series sets a new standard for contemporary thrillers. Since her sensational debut in The Silent Corner, readers have been riveted by Jane Hawk's resolute quest to take down the influential architects of an accelerating operation to control every level of society via an army of mind-altered citizens. At first, only Jane stood against the "Arcadian" conspirators, but slowly others have emerged to stand with her, even as there are troubling signs that the "adjusted" people are beginning to spin viciously out of control. Now, in the thrilling, climactic showdown that will decide America's future, Jane will require all her resources--and more--as she confronts those at the malevolent, impregnable center of power."

When reviews call the books suspenseful and categorize the series as thrillers--there is no exaggeration. Your heart will speed up, your grip on the book or e-reader tighten, and you will wonder if you can continue. Sometimes, I had to get up and walk around before coming back to see what happened next in each of the four books I read.

The Night Window won't be released until May, but if you are interested in this series, you have time to check out the earlier books and see what you think.

The Night Window is the concluding book, and I sped through it. Here is another one of those reading dilemmas: do you want the series to end? --yes, I want a conclusion and no, I'm not ready for the characters to abandon me. So...now it has ended, and I'm left with both satisfaction and a little sadness.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this fabulous ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Riveting! This story is full of life and was hard to put down. It was not just about Jane road to destroying the Arcadians. However, it's many mini stories of individuals that helps Jane; whether, it be voluntarily or involuntarily. This make the story as a whole very interesting.

Vikram is an IT genius that voluntarily helped Jane by way of admiration for the heroine. Vikram was crucial to the end of the story. How else would Jane get a full list of Arcadians and people that has been injected and controlled by the nanoweb. He also has an intuitive intuition that are above others. Before he even decided to help Jane, he used his IT knowledge to embedded back doors to all big agency in order to use it later.

Cornell and Bernie was the safe keeper of Jane's son. Her trust in them made it possible for her to focus on the task itself. Cornell grew as the story progress.

The most interesting character here that really did not have anything to do with the revolution or bring it down has to be the film director Thomas. He's more of the supporting role for us to truly see the evil in Wainwright Hollister.

Is evil truly breed and not turned? Hollister was evil from the moment he was born. Smart but so evil. The power he crave intensified as he grew older to where it can only be satisfied via ways of violence.

I did not expect Koontz to end the story in that way. It was pure genius. How will Jane and Vikram get out the word that there is such a technology, especially with so many powerful people being controlled? How will Jane destroy the technology?

Oh man!!! This book...this SERIES...is one of my favorites by Dean Koontz, and while I’m so sad that it’s apparently come to an end, what an end it was!!! One thing that I absolutely love, not just with this series but with his Odd Thomas series as well, is that he manages to not only create an amazing character that the story revolves around but also a cast of characters that continue to pop up throughout the books that you can’t help but fall in love with. I also have to admit that I hate (but respect) that he’s not afraid to kill off characters that the reader loves. I was definitely disappointed at some of the ones we’ve lost over the course of this story but I can see why it had to happen for the book to progress as it did. I could never have imagined the series ending the way it did, yet now that it’s done I couldn’t think of a more amazing, perfect ending. I recently got one of my friends overseas to buy the series and can’t wait for her to read them so we can discuss!!!

Another amazing thriller by Dean Koontz. I am a life long fan and The Night Window does not disappoint. He knows how to weave a story that sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I loved it.

I was not completely into the Jane Hawk series before. I was kind of a reluctant participant. It’s just all the world domination stuff. Why couldn’t it just be a little city or town or state or small country or something? I guess then it wouldn’t be Koontz.

Jane Hawk is kind of growing on me. This is the first time I felt like she was less of an automaton. I have listened to the first books on Audible and perhaps did not feel the immediacy and excitement of the story in the same way as reading it, as I did this book. She has crazy single mindedness and martyrdom on her side.

This book has me all the way in. A couple of times I thought the series had to end. However, it can only end one way.

Dean Koontz does it again with a story that you just can’t put down. Fast paced with non-stop action. The method of mind control developed seems far-fetched at first, but it’s not so far out there that the reader can say, “No way!” A very enjoyable book!

Another Winner by one of my favorite authors. If you love alot of action and suspense then this series is for you. The story follows Jane Hawk a former FBI agent who's fighting a group of sadistic killers who are mind controlling sick people. They continue to track Jane and get so close and then she manages to escape them time and time again. I love it! She is smart and has friends who help her in all kinds of ways to protect her son from her enemies.
If you love reading alot of mystery with a woman lead then try this series. And thanks to NetGalley!! You guys rock!!

Haven't read many dean koontz books but this was one I couldn't put down thank you net galley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this advance copy

Another great book by Dean Koontz! I have really enjoyed the Jane Hawk series! Thanks for the advance copy.

It appears that this book is the last in this series. For me the author left the best for last. Even though I have read the previous books in this series, the author did a great job of integrating the essence of the storyline into this book so that this could have been read and understood as a stand alone. The author's use of words and subtle humor added to the enjoyment of this book.
