Purchased at Goodwill in Garland, TX.
From Library Journal: Teacher Jim Ironheart, aptly named, is sent by forces unknown to save chosen people in life-threatening situations. By chance, a young but jaded reporter stumbles onto his missions, and joins him to investigate who is controlling him and why. Shared nightmares begin to point to an extraterrestrial influence, and the pair are forced to confront Ironheart's forgotten past for answers.
Koontz, a master at maintaining mystery and suspense, weaves themes from earlier novels into this latest thriller. Even if the ending calls to mind DuMaurier and Hitchcock, Cold Fire contains all the ingredients--likable characters, nail-biting suspense, and above all, unlimited imagination--that will please Koontz's fans.

I'm a big fan of Dean Koontz, and while I did enjoy this book, it is not one of his best, in my opinion. Interesting characters and an exciting story of twists and turns to follow. The ending was a little too happily-ever-after for me, but this book is definitely worth a read!
