In retelling the classic myth of Frankenstein, Dean Koontz brings to life creatures that have their own ideas about how the world should operate. In other words, you only think you know the story….
In Prodigal Son we meet Deucalion, a tattooed “man” who’s carried for centuries a terrifying secret. But when he arrives in New Orleans and learns of a serial killer who, it seems, carefully selects his victims, Deucalion offers to help Detective Carson O’Connor and her partner, Michael Maddison, find the one he knows is responsible: the deranged near-immortal Victor Helios—once known as Frankenstein.
City of Night opens on a city losing hope that Victor Helios’ engineered killers can be stopped. They are stronger, heal better and think faster than any human. And as one-time monster Deucalion and his human partners discover, they’ve infiltrated every level of New Orleans society.
In Dead and Alive, as a devastating hurricane heads for New Orleans, Helios’ soulless creations are spinning out of control. As a damned creature himself, Deucalion knows justice demands he face his mad creator. But first they must both confront a malignant entity with powers and a purpose beyond even their imagining.

I have loved Dean Koontz since I started reading his first novel 'Whispers' and read every one since. I was skeptical about what I thought was the same old Story - "WRONG". Dean Koontz has breathed new life into a classic. His spin on the story keeps me up reading long into the night. I can't wait to read then next installment 'The Dead Town'. This is truly a Master of his craft who always knows how to keep a reader glued to the pages of every novel he writes. Can't wait to see what he does next!

A very interesting and scifi take on Frankenstein story while keeping the legend intact! Fast paced, many turns and twists.What does he dream of at night? LOL The medical knowledge truly shines in this book, as in all Koontz novels.Be prepared to be frightened not for wimps!

I find that this was a good read, which was a surprise because I don't really read this kind of book. So if you are looking to kill a few hours this is worth it.

I found the first book about 5 (?) years ago- read it, loved it. Found the 2nd one in the same store a couple months later- again, read it, loved it, but had to wait a couple years (until about 3 months ago) for the 3rd book. I'd read the first 2 again to continue with the 3rd- not done yet, but still loving it. I'm having mixed feelings about the 4th book. Was expecting it to be over, but am glad it goes on- and I dont have to wait long.
I never had an interest in 'Frankenstein', but these books are great.

I read all 3 of these earlier and I don't know if I can remember enough to review them well, but I know they were really gruesome and scary. I had to wait a while on the 3rd one to come out, but was able to put it all together. They were definitely very interesting, although a little hard to understand some of the time. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed them!
