Helios wants to replace flawed humanity with his New Race, people born and fermented in pods, their personalities programmed by him, their imperfections removed in the lab. Frankenstein has survived into the 21st century, masquerading as biotech tycoon Victor Helios. In this grisly thriller, the first in a new series by bestsellers Koontz and Anderson, Dr. For their quarry isn’ t merely a homicidal maniac-but his deranged maker. Soon it will be clear that as crazy as she sounds, the truth is even more ominous. For the no-nonsense O’Connor is suddenly talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more-and less-than human. Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to Hell itself–and that just may be where this case ends up. Detective Carson O’Connor is cool, cynical, and every bit as tough as she looks. He arrives as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. His name is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who’s traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. Get ready for the mystery, the myth, the terror, and the magic of…Įvery city has secrets. If you think you know the story, you know only half the truth. From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time.
