To start this course off I picked the book lightning by Dean Koontz. The reason I choose this book was I personally like Dean Koontz as a writer. I have read a few of books and liked everyone that I picked up. This book is no exception, Lightning right from the beginning you are hooked and don't want to put this one down. You are first introduced to Dr. Paul Markwell and when you first meet him he is drinking scotch at home while on call. Which leads you to believe this man is a drunk and an idiot. While drunk he gets a call from the hospital alerting him that one of his patients has gone into labor and that he is needed at the hospital as soon as possible. Now you would think there is no way he is dumb enough to try and drive to the hospital while drunk yet alone try and deliver a child. He decides to go anyway. Here is where You get the feeling that Dr. Markwell doesn't really care to much about his job or the safety of his patients. Well as soon as he leaves his house a bolt of lightning strikes the light post outside his house. Now you might be thinking this is probable some type of sign since the book is called lightning and a bolt of lightning just struck right near the main character. Well you'll have to read it to find out. Then by like some source of higher power a man with a gun and takes the bad Doctor away at gun point.
