The war against humanity escalates in chilling fashion, but be warned: Koontz's Frankenstein saga may be taking a turn for the bizarre.


Victor Frankenstein's sinister legacy strikes again, with terrifying precision. Rainbow Falls becomes the latest target, infiltrated by engineered replacements bent on annihilation. Fan-favorite Deucalion, alongside detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison, reunite with Erika Five and Jocko to fight this insidious new onslaught. However, Victor is emboldened by a powerful backer, and his plans seem more outlandish and destructive than ever.



Fourth book is definitely filled bizarre twists
War against Humanity

This fourth book promises escalating tension as the war against humanity unfolds. Yet, it's worth noting that Koontz's Frankenstein series takes increasingly bizarre twists and turns with each book. The emphasis on engineered replacements and a mysterious backer suggests action-packed horror, but potentially at the expense of the nuanced themes earlier books may have touched upon.


If you've enjoyed the wild ride of the previous Frankenstein books, this promises even more high-stakes thrills. Readers seeking a more traditional gothic horror aesthetic or a grounded exploration of the Frankenstein mythos might want to temper their expectations.
