DEAN KOONTZโS CITY OF NIGHT
They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever createdโand they must be destroyed. But not even Victor Heliosโonce Frankensteinโcan stop the engineered killers heโs set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Now the only hope rests in a one-time โmonsterโ and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson OโConnor and Michael Maddison. Deucalionโs centuries-old history began as Victorโs first and failed attempt to build the perfect humanโand 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 Victorโs malignant mind could have imaginedโan indestructible entity that steps out of humankindโs collective nightmare with one purpose: to replace us.
