frankenstein, victor (fictional character)

A monster assembled by a scientist from parts of dead bodies develops a mind of his own as he learns to loathe himself and hate his creator, in an annotated edition that offers insights into Shelley's literary and social worlds.

When his grieving father orders the destruction of the Dark Library, Victor retrieves a book in which he finds the promise of not just communicating with the dead, but entering their realm, and soon he, Elizabeth, and Henry are in the spirit world of Chateau Frankenstein, creating and growing a body.

The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as a small group of survivors band together in Rainbow Falls, Montana, to take a last stand against Victor Frankenstein and his creatures.

Victor Leben--formerly Victor "Helios" Frankenstein--plans to repopulate the planet with a new race of humanoids that he will create using stem cells, "organic" silicon circuitry, and nanotechnology, but a group of five--including detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison and Victor's original monster, Deucalion--team up to stop him.

As Victor Leben, formerly Frankenstein, begins his work to create a race of superhumans, five people, including Victor's original creation, Deucalion, gather in a small Montana town to face dangers they have never known before in order to oppose Victor.
