The war against humanity has begun. In the dead hours of the night, a stranger enters the home of the mayor of Rainbow Falls, Montana. The stranger is in the vanguard of a wave of intruders who will invade other homes . . . offices . . . every local institution, assuming the identities and the lives of those they have been engineered to replace. Before the sun rises, the town will be under full assault, the opening objective in the new Victor Frankenstein’s trajectory of ultimate destruction. Deucalion—Victor’s first, haunted creation—saw his maker die in New Orleans two years earlier. Yet an unshakable intuition tells him that Victor lives—and is at work again. Within hours Deucalion will come together with his old allies, detectives Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison, Victor’s engineered wife, Erika Five, and her companion Jocko to confront new peril. Others will gather around them. But this time Victor has a mysterious, powerful new backer, and he and his army are more formidable, their means and intentions infinitely more deadly, than ever before.

I just got done reading the whole five-book Frankenstein series by Dean Koontz. And, he put a very interesting twist on the whole thing. Koontz was originally writing this as a screenplay for a mini-series on the USA network. However, they decided to go in a entirely new direction. So, Koontz dropped out. And, instead wrote this 5-book series instead. There a re a lot of interesting characters a long the way. Some get killed off a lot sooner than you expected. This series takes you from New Orleans to San Francisco to River Falls, Montana. It's 200 years since the events or the Mary Shelley book. Victor Frankenstein is alive and has been living in New Orleans. Through his scientific methods -- he has achieved immortality. And, he hates humanity. And,. he's trying to replace it by killing off people and replacing them with replicants of his own making. Frankenstein's monster goes by the name Deucalion. And, he's out to stop Victor. We find out that the lightning that gave him life. Also gave him special powers that we didn't know about. His two main allies are homicide detectives Carson O' Connor and Michael Maddison. The twists and turns throughout the series are very good. By the last book -- we come to the Builders who are made up of little nanotechnology animals who kill humans.
