I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different. A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works. categories: - Fiction authors: - [[Dean Koontz]] published_on: 2007-06-29 publisher: Bantam pages: 498 isbn: 307414272 cover: http://books.google.com/books/content?id=51Mh3cgAlL4C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api local_cover: 50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Odd Thomas (book).jpg link: https://amzn.to/40EDHW3 tags: - type/book - books - summaries - zone/areas - zone/areas/literature_notes created: 2025-01-20T10:12 updated: 2026-04-01T14:44 public_note: true rating: ★★★★★ --- # Odd Thomas (book) - Author(s): [[Dean Koontz]] - Link: https://amzn.to/40EDHW3 ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Odd Thomas (book).jpg|200]] ## Description ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Odd Thomas (book)]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Key ideas ... ## Chapter 1: ... ... ## References -
