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.
