DEAN KOONTZβS CITY OF NIGHT
They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever createdβand they must be destroyed. But not even Victor Heliosβonce Frankensteinβcan stop the engineered killers heβs set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Now the only hope rests in a one-time βmonsterβ and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson OβConnor and Michael Maddison. Deucalionβs centuries-old history began as Victorβs first and failed attempt to build the perfect humanβand 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 Victorβs malignant mind could have imaginedβan indestructible entity that steps out of humankindβs collective nightmare with one purpose: to replace us.
