I've gotten through Consciousness I and II, and am getting ready for the highlight....where Consiousness III, people come to our rescue. After 45 years, this book is an interesting "look back" on the 70's, The author would be shocked at what today in America has become; oops another mass shooting has just occurred in California. I think these are the "Consciousness IV" guys.

First short story....a 15 yr old teen, going through his rebellious years, impregnates an 18 yr old "slow" gal.....and his mom finds out that he's a kid, she didn't understand, either while he was growing up, or now that he has become a father....

I'm interested in early Dean Koontz works.....as I recetly finished "Innocence" a later work....and wanted to see how he has evolved in his writing. Lots of surprises....but one thing stands out, Koontz is a master of the descriptive narratve.

Halfway through, and it is getting weirder. Just finished one of the longest chapters I have ever read.
