On its own, this book is not that bad, just a bit bland. But being the culmination of his three-part Frankenstein epic, it is a major disappointment. The first in the series is electrifying, and it promises a dark and horrible world to be unfolded in subsequent sequels. The second book has a few unnecessarily slow moments, but it is still a gripping read. Now the third - it is nothing more than an embarrassment.</p><p>What a waste of intriguing characters such as Deucalion, Carson O'Connor, Michael Maddison, the Werner abomination - none is really essential to the climax of the story (if you call it a climax). Of course we know Victor Helios will fall because of his own arrogance, but we don't expect him to fall so easily! What a let down by Koontz. Maybe he just wanted to finish the series and get it over with...</p><p>...or to move on to his popular Odd Thomas series, in which Deucalion will surely make a quantum leap and play a role. You're wicked, Mr Koontz.
