Product Description:
Loop me in, odd one. The words, spoken in the deep of night by a sleeping child, chill
the young man watching over her. For this was a favorite phrase of Stormy Llewellyn,
his lost love, and Stormy is dead, gone forever from this world. In the haunted halls of
the isolated monastery where he had sought peace, Odd Thomas is stalking spirits of an infinitely darker nature

Through two New York Times bestselling novels Odd Thomas has established himself as one of the most beloved and unique fictional heroes of our time. Now, wielding all the power and magic of a master storyteller at the pinnacle of his craft, Dean Koontz follows Odd into a singular new world where he hopes to make a fresh beginning—but where he will meet an adversary as old and inexorable as time itself.

St. Bartholomew’s Abbey sits in majestic solitude amid the wild peaks of California’s high Sierra, a haven for children otherwise abandoned, and a sanctuary for those seeking insight. Odd Thomas has come here to learn to live fully again, and among the eccentric monks, their other guests, and the nuns and young students of the attached convent school, he has begun to find his way. The silent spirits of the dead who visited him in his earlier life are mercifully absent, save for the bell-ringing Brother Constantine and Odd’s steady companion, the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

But trouble has a way of finding Odd Thomas, and it slinks back onto his path in the form of the sinister bodachs he has met previously, the black shades who herald death and disaster, and who come late one December night to hover above the abbey’s most precious charges. For Odd is about to face an enemy who eclipses any he has yet encountered, as he embarks on a journey of mystery, wonder, and sheer suspense that surpasses all that has come before.

From the Hardcover edition.

- Don't Miss This One
Brother Odd, the third book in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz, takes the reader to the hills of the Sierra Mountains in northern California. Odd (whose strange name supposedly comes from an error on his birth certificate where the T was dropped from Todd) has come to St. Bartholomew's Abbey to rejuvenate his soul after the horrific events of the past in which he lost his one true love. Thinking the quiet abbey will be the perfect place to rest, Odd is quickly thrown into the center of utter chaos.

Odd has the unique ability to see the lingering dead, those who, for whatever reason, have not left this world for the next. He also sees bodachs, ghostlike figures whose appearance indicates impending violence. When Odd discovers a bodach lurking outside the abbey, he sets out to find what might be attracting it. Is it after the peaceful sisters or brothers? Or perhaps the many physically and mentally ... Read More

- Absolutley No Plot......At All
I do not read many Dean Koontz books because of his love and over use of every adjective and adverb in the english language, but after reading Odd Thomas(and loving it) I went right out and bought Forever Odd which I also enjoyed. When Brother Odd was published I though what the heck it has to be good,I was very,very wrong. I have read hundreds of books and I have never read a book that had no plot until now. This book was about nothing,just Odd walking through a monastery talking about bells and abbey's and more bells and abby's. There was nothing going on that would make you want to turn to the next page. The only reason I kept reading it was I was positive something had to happen but once again I was wrong. Just very boring,no suspense at all,very hard to finish. At least elvis was still along for the ride.

I am very suprised to see all of the good reviews this book recieved. I tried to sell my ... Read More
