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.

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.
