內容簡介

The Frankenstein story is updated to the 21st century by the great American storyteller Dean Koontz. Now someone new is playing god. Frankenstein lives! And so too does his monstrous creation ! but this creature of legend is a monster no more and his scarred face bears witness to his maker's wrath. His name is Deucalion. As a devastating hurricane approaches New Orleans, Victor Helios, once know as Frankenstein, has unleased his benighted creatures onto the streets. As New Orleans descends into chaos, his engineered killers spin out of control, and the only hope rests with Victor's first and failed attempt to build the perfect human, whose damned path has led him to the ultimate confrontation with his pitiless 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. This is a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time.

這是一部經典系列的重磅續篇……

科學怪人的故事已經被美國最傑出的作家迪恩孔茨帶入到了21世紀。如今，還有新人把這個故事做的更棒。科學怪人，復活！當然他的那些怪異的發明也獲得了重生！不過這個傳說中的創造物不僅僅是個怪獸，他那猙獰的面孔也似乎在暗示著製造者的某種憤怒，他的名字叫做丟卡裡翁。當毀滅性的颶風正在接近新奧爾良州時，曾被廣泛熟知的科學怪人維克多赫利俄斯已經把他那笨笨的發明拿出來了。由於新奧爾良州陷入了混亂，他的工程殺手也失去了控制，僅有的希望就是維克多的首次失敗的嘗試創造的那個完美的人類，他的破壞程式已經引領著他與那個冷酷的發明者進行終極對抗。不過，首先，丟卡裡翁必須消滅一個畸形，那可不是維克多那個邪惡的思想所能想像的-這個不可毀滅的東西正一步步走進人類的噩夢，他只有一個目的，那就是取代人類。
