I was rather disappointed in this series concluder. After waiting four years, I expected a lot more involvement with Deucalion. Instead the entire book revolved around other demented characters doing very disturbing and gruesome things. Deucalion is the hero (?) of this series and he was barely even in this book. Very disappointing.

Apparently Victor Frankenstein has a laboratory that produces replicants (clone humans (or zombies) with programmed mentalities). Dr. Frankenstein is replacing prominent figures of society (including the president) with these replicants in hopes of murdering all the "Old Race" and replacing them with the "New Race" ala Hitler.

I understand that the reason for the long delay in publishing this book is that Koontz's co-author died. Well you can certainly tell that something was seriously missing in the writing of this one. I usually like Koontz's writing but this seemed like it wasn't even part of the Frankenstein series let alone a conclusion. I am glad this is the conclusion because after this, I'm sure I wouldn't read another in the series.
