An exceptional killing machine has deviated from his programming after developing psychic powers that lead him to the man whose DNA he was cloned from. The man, Marty Stillwater, has no idea any of this has happened and is busy going about his normal life as a writer, married with two children when he starts feeling his doom coming. The story follows the meeting of these two as the killer wants "his life" back insisting that Marty is an impostor and has stolen his life and family from him.
I thought the premise was interesting but it got a bit too drawn out and then...it was just over. Very anti-climatic with yet another "this was a bad guy but he wasn't really a bad guy" swooping in to save the day at the very end. Very predictable Koontz.
