I have a patron request I hope someone will recognize. Setting is
northern California, a closed-down army base and a man with a skin
condition where he couldn't go out during the day and only went out at
night. There is an element of time travel in the book and patron thinks
there were 2 books with the same character. He thinks the book came out
last year. It reminded me of a Dean Koontz title, but he said it wasn't
a Koontz, though the author was a male. Any ideas will be appreciated -
thanks.

It sounds exactly like Koontz's two novels featuring Christopher Snow --
Fear Nothing and Seize the Night. It's not so much time travel as travel
between dimensions and all the other clues fit the 2 books.

Despite your patron's insistence to the contrary, this sounds an awful lot like
Koontz's "Sieze the Night", sequel to "Fear Nothing". Both feature a male
character with a sensitivity to light, and "Sieze the Night" does include time
travel. Good luck!
