By the Light of the Moon is a novel by American author Dean Koontz, released in 2002.

The novel combines science fiction and suspense, following three people who are injected with nanotechnology by an amoral doctor and subsequently develop superhuman abilities. The novel deals with the topics of the ethical uses of nanotechnology, the urge to act rightly, biological hardwiring, and skepticism of those who attempt to change human nature (the latter a common theme in Koontz's novels).

Koontz said fans have often requested a sequel to the book, which he has no plans to write as of 2010 but neither has he entirely ruled out.[1]
