- Synopsis
- From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the legend, you know only half the truth. Now the mesmerizing saga concludes... As a devastating hurricane approaches, as the benighted creations of Victor Helios begin to spin out of control, as New Orleans descends into chaos and the future of humanity hangs in the balance, the only hope rests with Victor's first, failed attempt to build the perfect human. Deucalion's centuries-old history began as the original manifestation of a soulless vision-and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator. But first they must face a monstrosity not even Victor's malignant mind could have conceived--an indestructible entity that steps out of humankind's collective nightmare with powers, and a purpose, beyond imagining.

Dean Koontz dazzles. In this conclusion of his Frankenstein trilogy Victor Frankenstein has high hopes for the future. Despite several of his creations losing whole chunks of their programing he refuses to believe that he has failed. Deucalion, Victor's first crude creation who has joined forces with two police detectives, fights alongside humanity. Joined by a powerful yet mysterious being, Deucalian, along with several of his own kind finally kills Victor - only to have a copy rise and take his place. Is this a start of an eror of peace or a darker nightmare?
