Frankenstein Dead and Alive: A Novel

About this book

The final volume of Dean Koontz's modern Frankenstein saga brings the long-running battle between creator and creation to its climax. Victor Helios, the immortal scientist once known as Victor Frankenstein, has spent two centuries refining his plan to replace humanity with a flawless, engineered New Race. His first creation, Deucalion, has hunted him across the centuries and now stands among the few who can stop him. In the Louisiana city of New Orleans, detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison are drawn deeper into a conspiracy that is more unsettling than any case they have worked. Helios's artificial beings are spreading, and the line between the living and the made grows dangerously thin. Meanwhile, Deucalion's own fate, and the question of what makes a creature truly human, reaches its crisis. Blending police procedural, gothic horror and cutting-edge science fiction, Dead and Alive delivers the sharp dialogue, dark humour and relentless pace readers expect from a Koontz thriller. It is a gripping conclusion to the trilogy that reimagines Mary Shelley's classic monster story for the modern age.
