Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: Dead and Alive; A Novel

Overview

From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the legend, you know only half the truth. Now the mesmerizing saga concludes. . . .

As a devastating hurricane approaches, as the benighted creations of Victor Helios begin to spin out of control, as New Orleans descends into chaos and the future of humanity hangs in the balance, the only hope rests with Victor's first, failed attempt to build the perfect human. Deucalion's centuries-old history began as the original manifestation of a soulless vision-and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator. But first they must face a monstrosity not even Victor's malignant mind could have conceived-an indestructible entity that steps out of humankind's collective nightmare with powers, and a purpose, beyond imagining.

• Didn't live up to my expectations

  Posted September 24, 2009 by Joe, Folsom

  I was really looking forward the finale of this series. The wait for the 3rd book was very long, and like others, I expected great things after the first two.
  
  Unfortunately it seems like therse just something missing. The writing is typical dean koontz which is to say I wasn't missing anything on that front, but it seems like there was no real direction to the ending and it was just closed up. I was very unsatisfied with the ending.
