The Eyes of Darkness is much like other recently reviewed Dean Koontz novels--an unmitigated bomb. I know it's a cliche to say that you are rooting for the bad guys in a bad movie or book, but, man, I was really rooting for the bad guys. The Koontz formula has worn completely thin, and I feel nothing but revulsion for his characters. There is a character named Eliot Stryker in this book.
One quick point about the plot: it revolves around a child being held in a government detention center that has amazing psychic and telekinetic powers. He can move thousands of pounds with his mind, make guns not work, and communicate over thousands of miles. And he needs his mom to come and rescue him from the armed guards that keep an eye on him. The whole book is moot because he could obviously just leave any time he wanted. God I hated this book.
