Description
Someone New is Playing God
The Frankenstein story is updated to the 21st century by the great American storyteller, Dean Koontz.
Created centuries ago by a madman, possessed of seemingly supernatural powers and a dogged drive for justice, the mysterious Deucalion arrives in New Orleans. The next generation of Dr Frankenstein's monsters are about to be unleashed by their deranged maker, now known as Victor Helios.
Deucalion's path will cross with that of tough police detective Carson O'Connor and her partner, Michael Maddison, who are on the trail of a vicious serial killer stalking the city. This killer selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself.
Reluctantly, Carson will join forces with Deucalion against a far greater, terrifying threat: an entire race of killers who are much more—and less—than human.
Deucalion seeks one final confrontation with the evil genius who created him, Dr Frankenstein.
Dean Koontz, the master storyteller, creates a bold new legend in Prodigal Son.

Dean Koontz's Prodigal Son is praised for its masterful blend of satire and suspense, drawing comparisons to literary giants like Swift and Dickens. It's recognised for its fast-paced, thrilling narrative that both intrigues and terrifies, delving into the exploration of the human condition much like classic dystopian works. Koontz's craftsmanship in plotting and unique prose further cements his place alongside iconic storytellers.
