I admit I am not a
big Dean Koontz but I loved this book. I loved it so much I read it
twice and I could probably read it again. Go figure. I guess my fascination for this book is based on the fact that I
really wish that we could go back and forth through time. Imagine there
is moment that you wished you could change. It may not be a big change,
you may just want to tweak an event ever so slightly. You go back, do your
tweaking and voile come back to the present. The other reason for reading it twice, I really liked the story.
There is a problem with this tweaking of time even if
it is a small tweak. There are consequences for every action you make no matter
how large or how small. I believe in destiny and I believe you can't
change your destiny. What I do believe is that you can make the path to
your destiny better or worse, easier or harder.
This book is all about time travel with specific
travel between Hitler's Germany and the US in the 80's. A man keeps
appearing in Laura's life. He is her guardian angel and he shows up when
she needs help.
It started at her birth. There was a horrible storm and strangely enough a crack of Lightening.The doctor who had been
drinking heavily was warned not to show up at the hospital by this "angel".
Laura was delivered by another doctor. Her birth was a normal one.
It would not have been had the original doctor shown up.
Even with a guardian angel her life was
hard. So many things happened to her but because of this time traveler
the road she traveled was much different than had she been left to travel it
with no intervention. The question is were the changes made by the intervention good or bad?
Check out the book Lightning
