From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of 1 of the classic stories ever. If you believe you know the legend, you know only half the truth. Right now the mesmerizing saga concludes . .

Being a devastating hurricane approaches, as the benighted masterpieces of Victor Helios begin to spin out of control, as New Orleans descends into chaos and the continuing future of mankind hangs in the balance, the only wish rests with Victor’s first, failed attempt to build an ideal human being. Deucalion’s centuries-old background began as the initial manifestation of a soulless eyesight—and it is fated to get rid of in the best confrontation between a damned creature and his mad inventor. But first they need to encounter a monstrosity not even Victor’s malignant brain could have conceived–an indestructible entity that techniques out of humankind’s collective nightmare with power, and a purpose, beyond imagining.
