Watchers V

The Hitman found Nora after she visited the doctor. He demanded her to take him to the house, where he would kill her and Travis, and take the dog. The Outsider came on the same day, so Travis had to try and deal with both of them, while saving the dog and his wife. They all have a big struggle and the dog is attacked by the outsider.
A few days later the NSA agents come to the house, as Travis expected. They traced some phone calls to find out where they lived. He came for the dog and for information about the Outsider. But Travis told him he was too late, because he came the days before. Travis told him how the Outsider attacked the dog, and there was nothing he could do about it. Finally the agents stopped trying to solve the case as they knew there was nothing else they could do.
I thought this was a pretty good book, one of the best i have read by Dean Koontz.

watchers V

Watchers part IV

Travis and his girlfriend taught the dog how to read, and eventually they developed a device from scrabble game pieces for the dog to write to them. They found that a lot of people were looking for the dog, so they changed there identities and move far away. Travis prepared the house for an attack from the outsider, because the dog told them that they were connected some how, so the outsider would eventually find them. The NSA agents, the outsider, and the hitman all want to find the dog for their own purposes. But Travis has told the dog he will not let any one take him away.

Watchers part III - The Outsider

Travis found a way to communicate with the dog and found out that not only did they create a dog, but another create. They called it the Outsider, and it also escaped from the lab. This Outsider was created to battle in wars to help the Americans. The problem is that it was designed to kill and now that its loose, its doing what it was created to do. The NSI agents know about this, and are trying heavily to find its whereabouts before to many people are killed. Each time they make up a story to keep it unknown. The outsider also hates the dog, so it is trying to find it, and destroy it. The Outsider takes the eyes out of the people it killed because it thinks it is ugly so it doesn't want anyone to see it, and he knows the dog he better than it, so that's why he hates the dog. It is so hard to catch because it was designed to fight, and be stealthily, also it is as smart as a regular man.

Watchers part II

The watchers is getting very interesting. Travis Cornell, one of the main characters has lived a lonely life and went out to a woods to think. He came upon a dog that changed his life forever. He eventually found out, with the help of a girl he met, that the dog was developed in a laboratory to make it as smart as a human. However, in another section of the story, a man is hired to kill all of the scientist who created the dog, and he learns about the dogs abilities and wants to find it. NSI agents are also looking for the dog, who escaped from the labs, and are hiding everything to keep this from going public.

the Watchers

This is another Dean Koontz book. I have been reading for a few days now, and am on page 100. This is by far the longest book i have gotten, and is worth 36 points. This book is interesting because it has a few different sections in each chapter that so far, have nothing to do with each other. This makes it enteraining because there are three different main characters and you have to think how they are going to fit together in the end.

Intesity 2

i have finished the book intesity, it ended up to be a real thriller. Chyna succesfully got the little girl out of the mad mans house. She had a few hours while he went out to work, and she devised a plan to get both of them free with out being attacked by the gaurd dogs. This plan was very intense and took a lot of planning, and as she pulled out she thought they were free. Now she wanted to tell some one about the man and all the things he had done wrong, she saw a cop car and stopped him. But what she found was not good, you will have to read to find out.

INTESITY - by Dean Koontz

My new book is called intesity. It opens up with a young lady, Chyna, who is going to stay at her friends house for the weekend. She meets the family and they have a good time together until night comes, and every one goes to bed. Chyna was awaken by strange noises in the house, so she took cover underneath her bed, just in time for a stranger to walk in, when she notices blood dripping from him. She survives the night, but no one else in the house did, as she discovers the bodies of the family. She some how ends up in the back of the mans motor home, and he takes off with her unknowingly in the back. Now she is determined to stop him before he can ruin others lives.

The Contender II

After he trains hard for a few weeks, by getting up in the morning to run in the park, and work out in the gym for many hours. He is excited about getting to be in his first match, but the trainer will not let him until he knows he is ready. Just when he is about to give up, he told himself that he went through all that work, so he should stick it out. He ended up winning his first two fights. He was happy, but it wasnt the feeling he had hoped for. He really didnt like the fact that he was hitting people, and had to hurt them to win. He fought one last time to see if he had what the trainer called " a killer instinct". Even if he quits, he knows he has learned a lot about hard work and what is important in life.
