This is the 3rd in the series and it's pretty good. The 4th book is due out in the Oct-Nov time frame. It is about Victor Helios (aka Frankenstein), but an evil version, who simply wants to end life on Earth. His oldest creation, Deucalion, still lives and feels his mission in life in to stop Helios. I did not feel it was as good as the first 2 books but still enjoyable. It will be very interesting to see where Dean take the 4th book. In my mind, Koontz is simply the best supernatural fiction writer out there.
A few years ago I bought the first two books in this trilogy. As often happens I was unable to locate the third until it was advertised on EBay. and needless to say I bit and puchased the third and completing volume. Thrilled that I was able to do this and the service was great. Already read the book and placed it with the other two in my library. Also would say I have had good luck locating out of date books that I want to add to my collections. Thanks much. You done good!!!! D. Ott
I read the first two of this triligy and it took 4 plus years from the second to the third. I have no doubt this had to do with Katrina... however, it lacked the typical intense ending, and kept the door open for other books. I love all Mr. Koontz's writing, but I was disappointed, expecting more from 4 years.
My grandson collects Dean Koontz books and enjoys reading them very much. He reads each book completely through before he stops. He is a very smart guy who is a chef in his own resaurant. He thinks Mr. Koontz is the best author around and would not miss owning one of his books. He looks forward to all of the new books Mr.Koontz has published. I enjoy making my grandson happy,so I buy the books for him when I find them at a good price. Thanks to Mr. Koontz for a great past time for my grandson when he is not cooking great food.
This third installment in Dean Koontz's masterful Frankenstein series is a tense, page-turning thriller that will keep you up late because you won't be able to put it down... New Orleans is about to become a battleground as billionaire Victor Helios' (or Frankenstein's) New Race humanoids begin to lose their "programming" to obey their mad creator, and begin murdering many "old race" (that's US) people, fulfilling their deeply ingrained hatred for humans. As Helios' empire begins to crumble into chaos, his first creature, who calls himself Deucalion, along with two brave New Orleans detectives, Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison, seek to stop the nightmare by finding-and killing-Helios, and destroying the thousands of DNA enhanced monsters he has created-monsters who look like us. The ending is a bit enigmatic, leaving the story open for continuation in Book 4, "Lost Souls." These stories reveal Koontz at his best, and leave you hungering for more. 5***** out of 5*****Read full review

I buy books all the time. I enjoy reading. But I don't think I need to share my reading experience about it. Amazon does not ask for a review. I would have bought it off the shelf if I could have found it to escape writing a review.
I enjoy Dean Koontz's wrting style. He can get his idea across, without a lot of profanity and filthy language. He also manages to tell a great story. This book was the third book in a trilogy. I really enjoyed all three books. These books should be read in the order written
I waited 2 years for this pale ending to a great story? It didn't even seem like and ending, he left it open for more books. The first one was the best, the second was OK, but this one was phoned in...and to have had to wait two years for this lower quality book? Ridiculous.
My favorite author Dean Koontz has brought the mad scientist Dr. Frankenstien into the 21th Century. The imagination of Dean Koontz amazes me. I highly recomend any book by Dean Koontz.
