The only person close to his predictions was Nostradamus. I mean, like how many people could name a disease in 1981 or even 1989 that could have such a devastating affect on society that this disease has had. —and it ain't over, yet. I personally don't believe it is all that bad. However, if you listen to the talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, et al... the panic in the streets and you'd never guess it. It's friggin' amazing to me that Koontz wrote what he wrote so long ago. I mean just to mention that there would be a Disease and then name the year. Think about it.... or don't think about it. THank you, kindly for commenting. Sincerely. I gave you an upvote...
