DEAN KOONTZ’S CITY OF NIGHT
They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any
humans ever created–and they must be destroyed. But not
even Victor Helios–once Frankenstein–can stop the
engineered killers he’s set loose on a reign of terror
through modern-day New Orleans. Now the only hope rests in
a one-time “monster” and his all-too-human partners,
Detectives Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison.
Deucalion’s centuries-old history began as Victor’s first
and failed attempt to build the perfect human–and it is
fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned
creature and his mad creator. But first Deucalion must
destroy a monstrosity not even Victor’s malignant mind
could have imagined–an indestructible entity that steps out
of humankind’s collective nightmare with one purpose: to
replace us.
