There are no rules in the dark, no place to feel safe, no escape from the shadows. But to save the day, you must...Seize the Night.
At no time does Moonlight Bay look more beautiful than at night. Yet it is precisely then that the secluded little town reveals its menace. Now children are disappearing. From their homes. From the streets. And there's nothing their families can do about it. Because in Moonlight Bay, the police work their hardest to conceal crimes and silence victims. No matter what happens in the night, their job is to ensure that nothing disturbs the peace and quiet of Moonlight Bay....
Christopher Snow isn't afraid of the dark. Forced to live in the shadows because of a rare genetic disorder, he knows the night world better than anyone. He believes the lost children are still alive and that their disappearance is connected to the town's most carefully kept, most ominous secret—a secret only he can uncover, a secret that will force him to confront an adversary at one with the most dangerous darkness of all. The darkness inside the human heart.

      Dean Koontz's novel follows the life of Christopher Snow, a young man who suffers from a rare disease that makes any kind of light, real or artificial, deadly to him. Despite his inability to function in daylight, Snow has gathered a small group of close friends, a lover, and a preternaturally intelligent dog. Keith Szarabajka gets so excited narrating this story about Snow's search for a kidnapped child that the emotion is infectious. He'll get your heart pumping as he describes Snow running from killer monkeys and various slithering things. But once again, Koontz is guilty of gilding the lily. He stuffs the book with so much description you'd think he was getting paid by the word. The abridged version may prove more satisfying. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      Seize the Night is the story of Christopher Snow, who suffers from the genetic condition XP (xeroderma pigmentosum), which makes him a night owl, fatally vulnerable to strong light. He and his band of likable and quirky friends (including a highly intelligent doga Koontz trademark) investigate sinister events in their hometown of Moonlight Bay, CA. The group is convinced that the kidnapping of several of the town's children is related to the disastrous genetic experiments that drove the plot of the first Christopher Snow novel, Fear Nothing . The unfolding events also reveal large-scale time-travel experimentation and the machinations of a serial killer. True to form, what may sound wildly implausible is easily pulled by Koontz into a cohesive and engaging story. Character actor Keith Szarabajka returns with another great narrative performance. Although fans of Koontz won't want to miss the Christopher Snow novels, the author's more recent offerings may be in greater demand. Still, this is recommended.Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll.
