Dean Koontz

"A society with such an enlightened tolerance of corruption and savagery needs to bear down hard on minor offenses to convince itself that it still has standards." from "SOLE SURVIVOR," and I'm flashing back on my DUI when I was not a dangerous person but I still had to give the legal profession and the court nearly a thousand dollars to find me innocent.

SOMETHING STUPID I USED TO DO: Many years ago, I got Gene Coonce confused with Dean Koontz and told everyone I ran into that Dean Koontz used to write for the old Star Trek series.

Born: 19? in Everett, Pennsylvania Some of his pseudonyms are: DAVID AXTON ("ICEBOUND" & "STOLEN THUNDER") BRIAN COFFEY ("THE FACE OF FEAR" & "THE VOICE OF THE NIGHT") K. R. DWYER ("SHATTERED") LEIGH NICHOLS ("THE EYES OF DARKNESS," "THE SERVANTS OF TWILIGHT," "SHADOWFIRES," & "THE HOUSE OF THUNDER") OWEN WEST ("THE FUNHOUSE" & "THE MASK") AARON WOLFE ("WINTER MOON")

"...Following the war, angered and humiliated, he became an activist, committed to securing justice for the oppressed. After five years, he lost faith in the possibility of equal justice and also came to believe that most of the oppressed, given a chance, would become enthusiastic oppressors in their own right...." from "FEAR NOTHING," which is an excellent book, but not one you should read when you are alone unless you like to keep glancing over your shoulder to make sure you are.

POSTSCRIPT "Never judge a book by its movie." J. W. EAGAN
