Dead and Alive
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.
