The Forbidden Door

Jane Hawk #4

A creative and frightening story of a evil conspiracy using nanotechnology and one woman’s fight to save her son.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

SUMMARY

She was one of the FBI’s top agents until she became the nations most-wanted fugitive. Now Jane Hawk may be all that stands between a free nation and its enslavement by the Techno Arcadians and their terrifying mine-control nanotechnology. Jane has struck major blows against this powerful secret society in the past, but now they are going to make her come back to them. They are going after her five-year-old son, Travis, to use him as bait. The Techno Arcadians have brain-altered an entire neighborhood and programmed them to find Travis. Jane must battle her way back across the country to reach her son who she thought was safely hidden away. But something went wrong with the neighbors who were injected with the nanotechnology, and now they are each going violently insane. With the madness spreading, Jane must use all of few resources available to her to reach her son.

REVIEW

Jane Hawks is a fabulously strong female character, and she comes alive on the pages of The Forbidden Door. I wanted even more of her , as she out-thinks and out-fights those trying to capture her. This story focuses on the hunt by the army of Arcadians and adjusted neighbors who are trying to find Travis and lure Jane into their trap. Each chapter is told from alternating perspectives and if I wasn’t paying close attention I’d loose track of which of the many bad guys were taking the lead. The story is creative and frightening and DEAN KOONTZ’s writing is both haunting and action-packed. One of my favorite parts of the book is the relationship that the sweet and brave 5-year-old Travis develops with a brilliant but panicked autistic recluse.

Thanks to Netgalley for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review: The Forbidden Door by Dean Koontz

My rating; 4/5⭐️

Our favorite Rogue FBI agent is back in the fourth installment of the Jane Hawk series. Jane has been very busy and successful collecting the evidence she needs to expose the Techno Arcadians and the nanotechnology they use to control the minds of people they deem to be a threat to the ultimate “utopia” they are striving to achieve. Beyond all odds, she has managed to stay a step ahead in this game of cat and mouse until the unthinkable happens. Jane’s five year-old son, Travis, has been carefully hidden away from these monsters who seek to do him harm in order to draw out his mother and put an end to her crusade once and for all. Using the best technology and the vast amount of government vehicles and tools at their disposal, the Techno Aracadians have finally discovered the whereabouts of Travis and will use any means necessary to capture him. With her son in the sites of her enemies,  Jane must cross the country under the nose of these terrorists to save her child before it’s too late. The race is on.

The Forbidden Door is my favorite book in the Jane Hawk series so far. Jane is one of the best female heroines in any of the  books that I’ve read to date.  She’s extremely sharp, brave, and good to her core. Koontz has created such a believable and brilliant character and I continue to be amazed at the wisdom with which he so vividly captures the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child and also the lengths in which a mother would go to protect that bond. Jane reminds me of a mama grizzly bear going after the poachers who have taken her cub. This book was also a relief from the constant kidnapping and interrogation of Jane’s enemies. While it’s a great storyline and necessary to the plot, the story needed a bit of a shakeup to keep the reader interested and this book was perfect for that.

While Jane is the main Protagonist and an extraordinary character, she is not the only great character in the series. The cast throughout all four books is made up of a motley crew, each character being more interesting than the last. In this installment we are introduced to Cornell Jasperson. Cornell is an unusual person, both in appearance and personality. He’s a gangly, 6’9” tall, African American millionaire with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s such a well rounded and lovable character and, in my opinion, does a wonderful job of representing people suffering from this horrible affliction. He’s easily my second favorite character, behind Jane, to be introduced thus far. I pray he’s fated to have a happy ending at the conclusion of the series.

At every turn in this story it seems like there is no way for Jane to come out on top, but she always does. Koontz has such a vivid imagination and takes his characters to places I would never guess at. This series has been wildly entertaining and I’m completely invested in the outcome of these amazing characters. I can’t wait to see where Dean takes us in the next installment, The Night Window, expected to release in May 2019.
