O, BROTHER, where ODD thou?, asks Koontz
There’s something wrong with the world when a third book in Dean Koontz’s ODD THOMAS series is announced before a third book in his FRANKENSTEIN series. Not there’s anything wrong with Mr. Thomas and his supernatural adventures, but we’ve eagerly impatiently been waiting a year for the FRANKENSTEIN trilogy to wrap up, while Odd showed up a second time just this past fall.
Anyway, Koontz fans will have something to give thanks for this Thanksgiving when he releases BROTHER ODD, the next chapter in the ongoing series of fan-favorite Odd Thomas, the crime-solving virgin/fry cook who sees dead people. From the looks of the cover (and more on that in a sec), one can assume Odd’s celibacy remains intact as he becomes a monk. No other plot details exist at this time, but we feel safe in assuming that much.
You can pre-order BROTHER ODD now, and hope the colored-by-Skittles cover will be changed by the publication date. In the meantime, relive good times with our reviews of the original ODD THOMAS and its sequel, FOREVER ODD.

Instead, we’re hearing spring of ‘07. Unless, of course, he comes up with yet another ODD THOMAS sequel before then. [...]
