Book Review of Relentless, a Dean Koontz Novel

 

Relentless, published in 2009, is a completely compelling suspense thriller that is fearless and funny.


An image of a galaxy in space


Synopsis of 'Relentless'


Relentless Book Cover
Cullen Greenwich, known as “Cubby” is a successful and happy man. He is a bestselling novelist and knows how lucky he is to be making a living doing what he enjoys.  The love of his life is his wife, Penny, a children's book author and illustrator. Together, Penny & Cubby have a brilliant six-year-old son, Milo (affectionately called 'Spooky' for his genius abilities in math and science), and an unusual non-collie puppy Milo insisted on naming Lassie. 


Life in the  Greenwich household is happy and serene until Cubby receives a bad review on his otherwise well-received newest book. The bad review is penned by a much feared and seldom seen critic Shearman Waxx.  Cubby knows he should ignore the review, Penny & Milo know this; even Lassie knows. And he plans to do just that. Then he happens to learn where Shearman Waxx is taking his lunch and Cubby wants to just get a look at this mysterious recluse whose mere opinion seems to affect careers, and maybe even a life.


But Waxx isn't what anyone would expect and what seemed to be an innocent encounter turns into an escalating terror. It seems Waxx gives criticism but doesn't take it and he has ways of dealing with those who cross him. Soon Cubby and his family find themselves desperately struggling against a relentless sociopath and on the run for their lives.


Summary


In Relentless, Dean Koontz brings us another unforgettable tale involving evil, fate, and the power of love.  You will be cheering for Cubby, Penny, Milo and Lassie and their extended family and friends as they set out to free themselves from the force that is Shearman Waxx.

  1. While I don’t usually have the stomach for suspense thrillers, I sometimes enjoy ones blended with humor and strong, positive relationships (like J.D. Robb’s Eve Dallas & Roarke series). I think I might really enjoy Relentless based on your description. Thanks so much for the excellent review and recommendation!

  3. Sounds like a great book. My mom had many books by this author - every time I see certain authors, I think of her - she would enjoy this one for sure - sounds very intriguing

  4. As you know, my husband love the Dean Koontz books. While I am pretty sure he would have read this one, I will definitely ask him. He just said last night that he needs a new book to read. He tells me which of the Koontz books I would like to read after he has read them. This sounds like one I would like which is why I wonder if he has read it himself. 2009 release would have been a hardcover book that I would have preordered for him. I need to run check his bookshelf! I bet we already have it.
