Frankenstein

They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever created; and they must be destroyed. But not even Victor Helios (once Frankenstein) can stop the engineered killers he?s set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Now the only hope rests in a one-time monster? and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson O?Connor and Michael Maddison. Deucalion?s centuries-old history began as Victor?s first and failed attempt to build the perfect human and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad 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.

Every city has secrets. But none as terrible as this. His name is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who?s traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Detective Carson O?Connor is cool, cynical, and every bit as tough as she looks. Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to Hell itself and that just may be where this case ends up. For O?Connor is suddenly talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more than human. Soon it will be clear that as crazy as she sounds, the truth is even more ominous. For their quarry isn?t merely a homicidal maniac but his deranged maker.

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.

Victor Helios (formerly Frankenstein) has continued his work and again has discovered the danger in creating life. He cannot stop the engineered killers he has set loose in modern New Orleans. Only his first "monster" and his two human partners have a chance to end the destruction.

A hurricane and the deadly creations of Victor Helios threaten the future of New Orleans and the only hope lies with Victor's first failed attempt to build the perfect human. After they face off with an indestructible entity, the damned creature and his mad creator will confront each other.

Detective Carson O'Connor and her partner Michael Maddison investigate a series of murders. She begins to suspect that the killer has actually crossed the ages and that they must find not only him but his maker.
