I wasn't sure what to expect when I first picked up this book. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. An interesting story and well formed characters kept my interest throughout. Upon finishing this book, I immediately started book 2.

slightly different Koontz (not surprising, since he has a co-author!), but I enjoyed it very much--very engaging; I also read Book Two

I don't know how I missed this trilogy! I loved it book one and immediately got all three and raced through reading them.
This trilogy is based on a modern day concept of Frankenstein, the monster and his maker.
This is Koontz at his best.

Excellent reworking and moderization of the classic Frankenstein!

This entire series is the best reading of the past decade. It is so cleverly written, set in modern day New Orleans. I love "The Monster", who goes by another name and has been hiding in a monastery in Tibet until he learns that somehow his maker (the real "monster" in this tale) is still alive and continues to work his evil with the backing of the political and scientific community. The characters are fascinating! The story wraps up nicely at the end of the third book. However, probably because of popular demand, there will be more-the next coming in June. I can hardly wait!
