Dean Koontz continues to be at the top of his game with his latest thriller ELSEWHERE. Not surprising to find sci-fi in a Koontz book, but this is also a thriller with some excellent action and suspense full of twist and turns.

The story is about a father and daughter trying to live a normal life until an eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep.

Ed entrusts them with a device they're not supposed to use. Not longer after ominous men show up and Jeffy accidentally actives the device.

This sets up a thrilling chain of events. Will Jeffy use the device to find his missing wife? Not surprisingly shady and powerful forces want the device so they have to go on the run with a man with dark purposes in pursuit.

I enjoyed the book. It was a fun read. This book more closely reads like Koontz other more sci-fi thrillers. I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi but Koontz delivers on the thriller and suspense side to make this worth a read.

In New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz’s new novel ELSEWHERE, Jeffy Coltrane works hard to maintain a normal life for his daughter, Amity, after the disappearance of his wife, Michelle, seven years prior. But that façade shatters when a homeless person they refer to as Spooky Ed gives them a device that changes how they see life forevermore.

And when they accidentally discover that the mysterious object is a key to travel across parallel universes, they can’t help but wonder about finding Michelle in one of those places. But another man with a dark purpose is determined to use the device’s grand potential for profound evil.

Stories about parallel worlds have been around for a long time—ever since Hugh Everett, a physicist from Princeton, first posited the existence of a multiverse in 1957. Koontz says he enjoyed such stories, but often wished they could be a bit less over-the-top and focused more on real-world content. He never considered writing one before, though—at least not until Jeffy, Amity, and the possibility of finding the missing person of their lives popped into his head.
