Product Description
Review
‘There’s surprise after surprise, including a killer finale … a read-in-one-go novel’ Independent on Sunday on Velocity
‘Velocity hits its pace from the first page and races through to a suitably climactic ending.’ Sydney Sunday Telegraph
‘Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler.’ The Times
‘If Stephen King is the Rolling Stones of novels, Koontz is the Beatles.' Playboy
‘Dean Koontz writes page-turners, middle-of-the-night sneak-up-behind-you suspense thrillers. He touches our hearts and tingles our spines.' Washington Post Book World
‘Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. Serious writers might do well to study his technique.' New York Times Book Review
‘The poet laureate of paranoid pop fiction.' Denver Post
'A modern Swift … a master satirist.' Entertainment Weekly
'Fast-paced and dark … Koontz knows we live in a world where evil delights in justifying itself … Classic literature that deserves a place on the bookshelf beside Orwell's 1984 and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.' California Literary Review
'Koontz is writing right where popular culture swells into something larger, just as it did for Homer, Shakespeare, and Dickens. He's got the gift.' Australian
'Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition.' USA Today
'Inspires both chills and serious thought … has the power to scare the daylights out of us.' People
'The poet laureate of paranoid pop fiction.' Denver Post
'Koontz achieves a literary miracle … stunning physical description, unique turns of phrase.' Boston Globe
'Near Dickensian powers of description.' Los Angeles Times
Product Description
The Frankenstein story is updated to the 21st century by the great American storyteller Dean Koontz. Now someone new is playing god.
Frankenstein lives! And so too does his monstrous creation … but this creature of legend is a monster no more and his scarred face bears witness to his maker's wrath. His name is Deucalion.
As a devastating hurricane approaches New Orleans, Victor Helios, once know as Frankenstein, has unleased his benighted creatures onto the streets. As New Orleans descends into chaos, his engineered killers spin out of control, and the only hope rests with Victor's first and failed attempt to build the perfect human, whose damned path has led him to the ultimate confrontation with his pitiless creator.
But first, Deucalion must destroy a monstrosity not even Victor's malignant mind could have imagined - an indestructible entity that steps out of humankind's collective nightmare with one purpose: to replace us.
This is a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time.

I must add, i am a huge Dean Koontz fan and this is the first book of his that has been a let down.
Just glad I was loaned this book otherwise I would have felt I'd been robbed!
Sorry but I am quite disappointed with this last part. I only hope Mr K doesn't do the worst thing possible and try writing a fourth book; he has left it as a possibility.
