Synopsis

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.

This book finished in a blur that makes me wonder if a deadline had to be adhered to - many storylines coming together in an anticlimactic way. Oh, well, even Dean Koontz can't win them all.......more

Again, I'm not really sure why I'm so into these books but I've been absolutely tearing through them recently. I think it might have actually even gotten me out of my end of the year slump. Anyway, definitely a good conclusion to the first arc of the series. Usually I don't like books where the seri......more
