I really enjoyed this whole series and think Dean Koontz added some interesting ideas to the whole Frankenstein mythos. I found this last book to be too short by about 2/3, as if it was just an outline or a summary of a novel that might be. The characters and story arcs are great I just would have liked to see more character insight, perhaps a little more tension, much more exposition. I know this was originally to be a special for Sci Fi or HBO or something and all the books are basically tv scripts, but the ideas could be the basis of an excellent epic novel or 2-3 book epic series if they were fleshed out more. Just a suggestion Mr. Koontz.
