From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the story, you know only half the truth. Get ready for the mystery, the myth, the terror, and the magic of…Dean Koontz's Dead and Alive
A devastating hurricane approaches New Orleans and Victor Helios, once known was Frankenstein, has unleashed his benighted creatures onto the streets. As New Orleans descends into chaos, his engineered killers spin out of control, and the only hope rests with Victor's first and failed attempt to build the perfect human, whose damned path has led him to the ultimate confrontation with his pitiless 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.

Worst ending to a series, or the start of an even worse continuation of the series?After 12 or so Koontz books, I don't know why I still pick up a Koontz novel. My first was Intensity which was excellent. If I wasn't a fan of the original Frankenstein, I wouldn't have give Koontz another try, but I did, and probably thanks to co-writers, they did a great job on the first two books of this series.I thought his delay in the release of book three was because he found a new twist with hurricaneA funny and stupid ending. Don't get me wrong. The book was excellent until the introduction of a confusing character, The "Resurrector". This Being was a "mess-up" that Victor Helios had created with telepathic powers. It comes into the story as a deus ex machina and saves the day! Wonderful... The ending I found to be rather sappy and anti-climactic... Where's the twist? The shocker... The surprise that makes you say, "Holy crap?" Are you telling me the biggest excitement is a troll slashing a
Just finished Dead and Alive and I can now definitively express how I feel about this series: I love it! Maybe it was because he had co-authors in the first two that it didn't feel fully Dean-like, but he sure remedied that in D&A. A fantastic read, great characters, the blend of humor and horror that I love so much, and an amazing story. It exceeded all my expectations.
"Dead and Alive" is the third book in Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series, this time written by Koontz alone. You can tell that he wrote the book on his own because the dialogue is even cheesier than in the two preceeding volume (these endless wisecracks! How I missed them!). Our cop duo continue to fight Dr. Helios (ex Frankenstein) aided by Deucalion, Frankenstein's first creation. Deucalion is an awesome hero: Tall as a bulding, knows the quantum structure of the universe - which conveniently

Koontz takes the original Frankenstein story and creates something wonderful, continuing with the third instalment. Taking the idea of the classic story, Koontz places Frankenstein and his monster in the modern world. This story leaves you asking who the real monster is whether it the grotesque monster happens to be the real monster or whether the creator of such a creature was the real monster.Still the problem of Frankensteins most recent creations are causing trouble for the heroic team,
