Publisher Description
From the celebrated master of suspense 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. This definitive eBook bundle contains all five novels in the mesmerizing saga of mystery, myth, terror, and magic that is Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein.
“Koontz writes first-rate suspense, scary and stylish.”—Los Angeles Times
Every city has its secrets. But none as terrible as this. He is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who has traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives in New Orleans as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Deucalion’s path will lead him to cool, tough police detective Carson O’Connor and her devoted partner, Michael Maddison, who are tracking the slayer but will soon discover signs of something far more terrifying: an entire race of killers who are much more—and less—than human and, deadliest of all, their deranged, near-immortal maker, Victor Helios—once known as Frankenstein.
This thrilling eBook bundle includes:
BOOK ONE: PRODIGAL SON
BOOK TWO: CITY OF NIGHT
BOOK THREE: DEAD AND ALIVE
BOOK FOUR: LOST SOULS
BOOK FIVE: THE DEAD TOWN
“A rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself. He writes of hope and love in the midst of evil in profoundly inspiring and moving ways.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“One of the master storytellers of this or any age.”—The Tampa Tribune
Customer Reviews
Its good, mostly...
First 3 books were great! Top notch! Last 2, ehhh, not the best. Maybe should have been a 6 book series, make the last 2 more fluid. Just my opinion though. Great book series over all. 4/5 just because the last 2 weren't up to par with the great Dean Koontz novels we are all used to.
The frankenstein series
Koontz at his best. I have read this series several times and I am still enthralled by the plot and characters. Pure magic in book form. Gorgeous and gory.
Good, but... lay off science already
So I enjoyed these books immensely... until I realized Mr. Koontz had gone off the rails and was writing a polemic against ALL of modern science, even the good parts of it that have benefited mankind immensely. He doesn’t know when to quit with his anti-science rhetoric, much of which is hyperbole and overblown and... just plain overbearing once you get to book 5. It’s tolerable for the sake of drama in books 1 through 3, gets a little preachy in book 4, and then gets just pathetically shrill and hateful and, quite frankly, unhinged by book 5. So my advice is... stop at book 4.
