Starting right up where the previous release PRODIGAL SON left off, we find Carson, Michael, and Deucalion attempting to figure out how to gain access to Victor Helios (aka Frankenstein) and destroy him.

As members of the New Race start having breakdowns all over the city, Carson and Michael are fighting off an assassination attempt, trying to keep Carson's brother safe, wondering what officials of the New Orleans government have been replaced by New Race replicants, and how the heck they're going to infiltrate Helios's guarded home to take him down.

Koontz is my favorite author of all time, and I've been sucked into the Frankenstein story just like all of his others. I'm anxiously awaiting the conclusion to this story with the third book, and all I have to say is this--Victor better suffer, Deucalion better not die, and Carson and Michael better end up married. After that, Koontz can do what he wants.

This series is not exactly what I expected, but has been a lot of fun. Mr. Koontz is able to inject a bit of humor in the most unlikely places.

Well written, gripping continuing story of Frankenstein.

Who would think a monster would have 'a heart', but Deucalion seems to have developed one somehow along the way.

If you like good, dedicated cops--you'll like Carson and Michael

A must read after Prodigal Son! The 2nd book in the series flows right from the first, easy to pick up. Provided more indebt character traits that makes the reader feel like they really know the main characters. Fast paced, ending of some story lines but allowing others to continue so the reader is easily enticed to read the 3rd book of the sereis, Dead and Alive.......
