Publisher's summary

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.

Outstanding

Characters are so rich in this story. This is one of Koontz best series. Downloading book 4 soon.

Grear way to end main trilogy

It's a really good end to the main trilogy... but is it really the end? It still sets up future books nicely as well.

I also like the link in with the Odd Thomas series in the last chapter

One of my favorites

I love this series but the narrator's use of humor and subtle vocal changes make this so incredibly entertaining!

Great story

My only complaint is that series should be condensed into longer books. lots of things happening spreads the story out and in the grand scheme not a lot happens in each book but all together the story is fantastic.

More horror than the first two

This is a logical stopping place in Koontz's Frankenstein saga., leaving all the principal characters in a good place and the perpetrator .... well, listen for yourself.

3 notes for the potential listener:
1. This is part 3 of a 5-part series.. Listen to the first 2 first.
2. This story leans more on horror elements than I think the first 2 did.
3. Jocko's voice is sometimes reminiscent of the voice Tom Weiner used for Old Charlie in Heinlein's "The Rolling Stones."

I plan to listen to the next in the series after a visit to the Dan Wells.

Interesting and odd

Story continues and you want to know what is going to happen once they are no longer under his control.

great series

I loved all three books and I really enjoyed all the characters in this series (maybe not so much of Jacko). The narrator did a great job when he wasn't doing the horrible new Orleans accent, the only big complaint is that it was split up into 3 books. they went really fast, it would have been better if it was one book or even 2 books

Phenomenal! Jocko Forever!!

All of Koontz's characters and situations are drawn in captivating,absorbing detail. But the emergence (literally) of the impossible and impossible-not-to-love Jocko is a masterpiece of both comic relief and the inhuman yet hyper-human heart (just one, I think] of this smashing series.

if Mary Shelly's creation is a classic, Koontz's riveting series and Christopher Lane's phenomenal once work are as well!.

The best one yet

I loved it- the best of the series yet- absolutely hilarious. Will definitely be listening again!

Fabulous!!

I love this series completely!! The story is wonderful & Christopher Lane’s ability’s to make each character so alive, I was laughing in between times of suspense! BRAVO!!!
