Product Description

The Frankenstein story is updated to the 21st century by the great American storyteller Dean Koontz. Now someone new is playing god. The legendary monster has survived the centuries to become a haunted and heroic figure dedicated to battling the truly monstrous evil that has also survived the years: the cruel genius who gave him life, Dr Frankenstein. His name is Deucalion. Having failed to kill his maker, scarred and strange, he lives with monks in Tibet until news reaches him of the next generation of Dr Frankenstein's monsters. He travels to New Orleans where they are wreaking havoc, and where a cool, tough cop, Detective Carson O'Connor, doesn't know she is pursuing killers that are more - and less - than human. But Deucalion does. Dean Koontz, the master storyteller, creates a bold new legend.

Review
'A page-turner -- this is a read-at-a-sitting novel -- with a terrific final twist' The Observer on Odd Thomas 'Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler' The Times 'Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying' The New York Times 'Koontz has near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match' Los Angeles Times

Frankenstein's Fantastic!
With the second part of this new series from Dean Koontz & Ed Gorman arriving hot off the press, I just could not put it down. This is a fantastic update on the classic old tale of man's attempts to "recreate" himself. Boris Karloff eat your heart out (if you'll pardon the pun). This series sees Koontz return to his original form, the books are beautifully written with differing stories interwoven in amongst the main horror which is Victor Frankenstein. I can't wait for the next book!

Dean Koontz is amazing.
Whilst I agree, the story just leaves you waiting impatiently for the 3rd book, the story is so well written. It had me sup late many nights. I think Dean Koontz is a genius and what a wonderful marketing ploy. I bet half of America will go buy the third book as soon as it hits the shelves. Why would you blame someone for wanting to make a little extra money? Love the book, love the author, can't wait to get the third and the end of the story.

And I thought Book 1 was good
Well when I thought it couldnt get any better Koontz shocked me once again. Having devoured Book 1 I couldnt wait for Book 2 to come out. Never in a million years did I expect to stay rivetted on the edge of my seat and unable to put the book down again. All I can say is I cannot wait for Book 3 and when thats finished I will be very disappointed that there isnt more to come.
