Phantoms is a novel written by best- selling author Dean Koontz. It is one of his best works. the story is about a town where two sisters live and are coming home from a vacation. when they reach the town, they find that every person of the town is either dead or lost. they somehow inform the neighboring town's police head quarter. Together with few police men they discover the cause for town's disappearance and deaths.
A victim of whatever was trying to kill him managed to write the name Timothy Flyte, on a mirror moments before he was killed. Flyte is a British academic and author of a book, The Ancient Enemy.
It is discovered that the town was built over the hibernating place of this creature, an amoeboidshapeshifter.The Ancient Enemy rarely feeds, but when it does, the effects are devastating. It was theorized that the Enemy either caused or aided in the extinction of the dinosaurs, as well as many of the great mysterious mass vanishings: Mayan civilization, Roanoke, ghost ships, etc.
The creature consumes other life forms to increase its mass and is able to perfectly mimic other creatures. It can create small "probes" or "phantoms" imitating consumed life forms to go forth and hunt more prey, obeying the orders of its "hive mind;" in addition the creature absorbs the mental capacity of those it consumes.
Its only vital organ is a nucleus located in the center of its main body. The creature's cells are similar in molecular structure to fossil fuels; upon discovering this the scientists use oil-eating bacteria to destroy the Enemy's core or brain.
