He wants the dog to trade for a great sum of cash, alone, without any knowledge from the Soviets or others. Travis, Nora, and Einstein are soon on the run not only from the Outsider, but from federal agents, determined to track down the laboratory escapees, and Vince Nasco, a ruthless professional assassin, hired by Soviets to kill several human targets who carried knowledge of how to stop the Outsider, in order to further the destruction of the Outsider. Later, he and Einstein find and rescue Nora Devon in a park, who was being pestered by a dangerous man, Arthur Streck.

On discovering the dog's exceptional intelligence, he names him Einstein. An explosion occurs in a classified research laboratory, causing an intense fire. After eluding the Outsider, Travis takes the dog home. A pair of lonely young people looking for meaning. A pair of experimental animals created for the military in a secret genetic engineering lab. This left me somewhat nonplussed, in my memory of the book there was a chapter featuring a gathering/house party of. The ending differed a lot from my recollection, in the new version they settle down with a baby and the special dog and a tranquil life. One, a Golden Retriever with enhanced intelligence, befriends Travis the other, a creature known as the Outsider, appears to be trying to kill the dog. Dean Koontz, the author of many 1 New York Times bestsellers, lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Elsa, and the enduring spirits of their goldens, Trixie and Anna. I first read Watchers back in the early nineties and last month I re-read it. Travis Cornell, a former Delta Force operative, feels that his life has become pointless, and is exploring a canyon near his home when he encounters two genetically engineered creatures that have escaped from a top-secret government laboratory.
