The fate of the world is in the hands of a father and daughter in an epic novel of wonder and terror by Dean Koontz, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.

Since his wife, Michelle, left seven years ago, Jeffy Coltrane has worked to maintain a normal life for himself and his eleven-year-old daughter, Amity, in Suavidad Beach. It’s a quiet life, until a local eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep.

Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object―something he calls “the key to everything”―and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth. The device allows them to jump between parallel planes at once familiar and bizarre, wondrous and terrifying. And Jeffy and Amity can’t help but wonder, could Michelle be just a click away?

Jeffy and Amity aren’t the only ones interested in the device. A man with a dark purpose is in pursuit, determined to use its grand potential for profound evil. Unless Amity and Jeffy can outwit him, the place they call home may never be safe again.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A New York Post “Best New Books” Selection

“[A] spectacular, action-packed, character-driven adventure…Koontz remains white hot with another certain bestseller.” ―Booklist (starred review)

“Colorful, imaginative…a lively, offbeat novel.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“A terrifying new tale…A fast-paced, hold-your-breath thriller with a heart.” ―AARP

“Vivid…” ―Associated Press

“Dean Koontz is the master of this kind of story. His imagination has no limits and with each book he seems to top himself. It makes you wonder what traveling to other worlds might truly be like.” ―Red Carpet Crash

“Some authors have used the sci-fi genre to create other worlds and critique the current world politics or realities. Koontz’s interests lay elsewhere. He’s more concerned with the human condition that remains the same across time and space and that cannot be remedied by ideology.” ―The Big Thrill

“This is a genre-busting work that happily will appeal to readers who enjoy thrillers, horror, sci-fi or just a flat-out well-told story with a breakneck pace that never lets up.” ―Bookreporter

About the Author

Internationally bestselling author Dean Koontz was only a senior in college when he won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition. He has never stopped writing since. Koontz is the author of seventy-nine New York Times bestsellers, fourteen of which rose to #1, including One Door Away from Heaven, From the Corner of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, The Bad Place, Hideaway, Dragon Tears, Intensity, Sole Survivor, The Husband, Odd Hours, Relentless, What the Night Knows, and 77 Shadow Street. He’s been hailed by Rolling Stone as “America’s most popular suspense novelist,” and his books have been published in thirty-eight languages and have sold over five hundred million copies worldwide. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, he now lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Elsa, and the enduring spirits of their goldens Trixie and Anna.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dean Is In Rare Form in Elsewhere!
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have been reading Dean Koontz for most of my adult life and I am really, really old (bet that makes you feel old, Dean :) ) and this is one of best novels he's written in a while. Actually, pretty much all of DK's books are excellent, but Elsewhere is at the top!

I read at least one and often two novels a week and, not only is the plot amazing and different from anything I've read, it is also filled with kindness, beautiful poetic narratives and richly portrayed characters. Overall a SciFi/Fantasy tour de force.

Elsewhere is rich in depth and full of love. It sure seems, based on the character of Amity, an eleven year-old girl, that DK has one or more daughters or granddaughters. I have a couple of those and he totally nails the feelings and thoughts that go through the father/grandfather of girls. The love, understanding, awe, and pride I feel so often about my granddaughters is so sweetly expressed and Dean puts into words so many thoughts I have had on many, many occasions.

But don't get the idea that the book is all sweetness and light! It is fraught with danger, excitement, and the type of extreme weirdness that only DK can create. It is a page turner and was over way too soon... I was happy about the poor ability of Kindle to properly match the percentage read to the page number since the percent slowed down as the pages advanced making me believe it wouldn't end too soon :)

I won't go anywhere near discussing the end. Suffice it to say, you will not be disappointed! I cannot more highly recommend this book. It is worth every penny and gave me a few days worth of happiness, chills, and excitement. I was tempted to read it in one sitting but purposefully slowed down so it would last! Yep, it is that good!

Obviously, this is all my opinion and, as always, I could be wrong. But I rarely am....

4.0 out of 5 stars imaginative, interesting, well written
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024

This book has all the elements needed for a good story: imaginative premise, interesting plot, sympathetic protagonists, villainous antagonists. The writing is, for the most part, clear and grammatically correct. One thing I found frustrating was Koontz's penchant for drawing out the action sequences. In scenes where timing was critical and the protagonist(s) in mortal danger, the split-second action is bloated into extended descriptions of the character's inner termoil, memories of similar events in his or her past, future goals, and what not, that can go on for paragraphs (or pages). I found myself skimming paragraphs of such musings in my need to know what actually happens during the current few seconds. Apart from that, I found the book readable and exciting. Well worth the price and, more importantly, the time. I do, however feel compelled to offer one additional criticism: The main bad guy and all of his associates are completely one dimensional. They're essentially human counterparts to Tolkien's orcs or Jordan's fades — pure evil with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is my only Koontz novel, so I don't know how it compares with his other works.

Overkill on details & references to the characters remembering all the cliches from the many books they read so they weren’t going to do it & this was why…blah, blah. I skipped several pages in multiple chapters just to finish the book. Otherwise I’d probably said forget it since the technique got old & you could tell where it was kind of going. Details & writing techniques are useful, but not so repetitive throughout the whole book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hit the nail on the head
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024

What a great idea for a story! The multiverse is an intriguing, if questionable idea, but Koontz has thought it through and fashioned a nearly believable thriller using familiar smartphone style technology to make it work.
He does tend to go on too long in his reflections on the characters, but he is near the top in his selection of story ideas, and in working hard to get it all to hang together. This is one book where I'd like to see one or more sequels to finish out the multiverse travel idea he has so expertly started.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elsewhere - loved it
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

This book’s premise is different from most of his books in that multiverses are involved , yet adheres to his principles and values, and is exactly Dean Koontz in the end. The characters are believable and the interplay of good vs evil is intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. Of course, I love that Good overcomes Evil, because otherwise what is the point? How can it not, in the end, be so, or otherwise we might as well as despair and die. Dean Koontz, you help me maintain that most people are intrinsically good, and that good will win out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Uno de mis libros favoritos de Koontz
Reviewed in Mexico on March 3, 2021
Verified Purchase
Primero, debo decir que me encanta que Koontz se aventure en la interpretación de la mecánica cuántica de muchos mundos, una fascinante plataforma de lanzamiento para un gran libro de ciencia ficción alegre con un corazón profundo. Leí este libro en Kindle, así que realmente no sabía cuánto tiempo había pasado hasta que revisé la página de bolsillo y vi que tenía 364 páginas. Parecía muy breve, pero solo puedo atribuirlo al hecho de que acabo de devorar este libro con tremendo entusiasmo. El libro logra tener personajes inolvidables: algunos muy malvados, algunos fascinantemente extravagantes y algunos verdaderamente adorables. ¿Cómo hace Koontz esto, una y otra vez? Este libro, como muchos de sus otros trabajos, te deja sintiendo tanta empatía por ciertos personajes, y también te mantiene sentado al borde de tu asiento hasta la última página. Este libro vale cada página. Incluso me encontré subrayando varios pasajes porque los encontraba increíblemente conmovedores.
