Publisher's summary
In Frankenstein: Lost Souls, Dean Koontz puts a singular twist on this classic tale of ambition and science gone wrong, to forge a new legend uniquely suited to our times. It is a story of revenge, redemption, and the thin line that separates human from inhuman.
The work of creation has begun again. Victor Leben, once Frankenstein, has seen the future — and he’s ready to populate it. Using stem cells, “organic” silicon circuitry, and nanotechnology, he will engender a race of superhumans — the perfect melding of flesh and machine. With a powerful, enigmatic backer and a secret location where the enemies of progress can’t find him, Victor is certain that this time nothing can stop him.
It is up to five people to prove him wrong. In their hands rests nothing less than the survival of humanity itself. They are drawn together in different ways, by omens sinister and wondrous, to the same shattering conclusion: Two years after they saw him die, the man they knew as Victor Helios lives on. As they gather at a small Montana town, old alliances will be renewed and tested, from within and without, for the dangers they face will eclipse any they have yet encountered. Yet in the midst of their peril, love will blossom, and joy, and they will discover sources of strength and perseverance they have not imagined.
They will need them, for a monumental battle is about to commence that will require all their ingenuity and courage, as it defines what we are to be...and if we are to be at all.

Story
He is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who has traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives in New Orleans as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Deucalion's path will lead him to cool, tough police detective Carson O'Connor and her devoted partner, Michael Maddison, who are tracking the slayer but will soon discover signs of something far more terrifying: an entire race of killers who are much more - and less - than human.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

Now this good man is all that stands in the way of an insidious killer—and forces that eclipse the most fevered fantasies of a city where dreams and nightmares are the stuff of daily life.

Be warned, it's a cliff hanger. Besides that, I loved how the Narrator brought all the characters to life and made the funny parts even better!

Easy Listen, Great Story
Although i do agree with the previous review that it would have been nice to know before hand that this book seems to be only HALF the story... and ends right as it's getting really good and the action kicks in...... The STORY is cleaver and entertaining. I am absolutely anxiously awaiting the next installment. I am not as upset as others ( remember the S. K's The Green Mile and all of it's installments?) about the fact that it is an unfinished story, just wished i had known that going into the listening.
I hope that people can see past this minor flaw and that Koontz keeps going with the Frankenstein Series..... it has yet to disappoint me, and has left me obsessed with this series!

A fantastic 1/2 book
By now, I appreciate Koontz's work enough to easily forgive him for giving us half a story here. It's still better than many whole ones I've read from others. Reader is quite good, though, no, they don't have that accent in Montana. That's more like Kentucky.

Series started out great, but this book was just filler.
This book could be condensed to a chapter or two at the most. The rest of it was the writer trying to introduce humor and it was poor. The narrator made it worse with his voices. Jocks is annoying. Bryce sounds like a Jimmie Stewart impersonation. Numbly is Forrest Gump. This book was a waste of the writer’s, the narrator’s and the reader’s time. I will listen to the next one to find out how it ends, but this book was commercial exploitation of the reader. What a shame, Koontz had the best sequel series EVER going until this.

Disappointed
Not a lot of content for a full book. There were a couple action parts, the “bar fight” was humorous in that it was a “many good guys with a gun” at a church doing. Pretty much just setting up for the next. Of course there was the “delightful, charming” Jocko antics. But over all disappointed. Even tho, I’ll continue on because I love the characters and gotta see where it all ends. Prob predictable but that’s the dif between creative writing, full characters, and great narration, idc because the ride will be fun!

Good but narration a little whiney
Overall pretty good. As all of these books are episodic this one is a nice segway into the new version of Victor Frankenstein. The one thing I didn't like was the narration of the two main characters: Michael and Carson. They just seemed really whiney to me and they were so bad ass before that it seems out of character. It's not the end of the world and you kind of get used to it but if that's going to bug you maybe you're better off reading it.

Koontz is amazing
I have been reading Dean Koontz since the 1980’s and I’m surprised that after all this time, he could possibly surprise me but he did. This Frankenstein series is pure fun. The characters are unique and unexpected. The writing is great, no surprises there. That he could be writing all these years and have it still be this fun and this fresh without ever being formulaic or familiar is a testament to how good this guy is. I absolutely love this series! Reading this series is like an emotional roller coaster. The feeling of dread is palpable as you hope against hope that Travis’ mother is still alive and then a minute later you’re laughing out loud at Jocko’s craziness or the unexpected scene of a group of church ladies who draw down on the bad guys. It’s a pistol pulling, pearl clutching good time! I highly recommend this series!!

I liked the continued story and excited for book 5
loved it, can't wait to "read" book 5 and see how this is going to wrap up. so enjoyed this series so far and very happy on how Koontz ties important parts together from previous books.
