Book description
The Frankenstein story is updated to the 21st century by the great
American storyteller Dean Koontz. Now someone new is playing god.
They are stronger, heal better and think faster than any humans ever
created - and they must be destroyed. But not even Victor Helios can
stop the engineered killers he has set loose on a reign of terror
through modern-day New Orleans.
The mad genius had not imagined that his creations would develop minds
- and purposes - of their own. And as Deucalion and Detectives O'Connor
and Maddison race to uncover an age-old conspiracy, they will discover
that Victor's new, improved models have infiltrated every level of New
Orleans society … and far beyond.
