Representaion Toward Books Lost Souls (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein #4)
#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz raises the stakes—and the suspense—taking his Frankenstein saga to a dynamic new level with the riveting story of a small town under siege, where good and evil, destruction and creation, converge as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.FRANKENSTEIN: LOST SOULS
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 had forgotten how much I enjoyed this installment of the Frankenstein Series. Yes, there is an abrupt ending, but we know where Book 5 will pick up. I absolutely love the Nummy & Mr. Lyss episodes as well as the Erika & Jocko chapters. This book brought so much joy into my winter life. This was really fun. In Lost Souls, I found myself.This series is still pretty fun for the most part but I guess I just have to accept that Koontz doesn't think Deucalion is an interesting character worthy of any amount of page space. Although honestly I lot of the 'main' characters didn't seem to get much page space in this one, at least in comparison to all the new random characters. Still, there is just something intensely readable about this series and I absolutely breeze right through them even when I'm in the middle of a huge slump. This
Best one of the series. Rather than center around Carson and Michael, this book concentrates on Victor's newest creations and their nefarious agenda. I'm more interested in them than Carson, especially now that's she's gone all mommy-crazy. For example, "Scout just farted in her sleep. It was so cute." Ugh, that's disgusts me and not because of the fart either. Koontz uses humor in his novels to balance out the horror and I generally like that but I was getting bored of the Carson/Michael banter
I really like the first trilogy in this series, but this book (#4) was a major let-down. It feels incomplete... as there is no real plot to speak of, and the characters are very disappointing.
Well, okay this is the last of these I intend to read. I thought about going 2 stars on this one...but I'd be kidding myself. I just didn't care for the book. I mean I like the 2 cops/private detectives. I sort of like the picture of the Creature.I was never really a fan or Mary Shelly's classic. It had a nice premise but just kept striking me as too absurd even for it's day...just me of course. I understand many love it. That seems to be the impious behind some of the other, "more emphatic" one
I may be writing this review prematurely as there are approximately 100 pages left for me to read. However, my gut instinct is that ... there will be zero change in my opinion(s). I had purchased Lost Souls not realizing that it was just one of several in Koontz's Frankenstein series, which is why I read books one (Prodigal Son), two (City of Night), and three (Dead and Alive). I enjoyed the first few books, but this one? After I finish Lost Souls, I will be satisfied putting this series to rest
The fourth book in Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Lost Souls, was as exciting and fast-paced as book one. In this adventure, Victor Frankenstein's original creation, now known as Deucalion, once again joins the crime-fighting couple of Carson and Michael. The banter and camaraderie remains, but the couple have grown and the center of their life has changed so that their approach is revised. In addition to bringing back Erika 5 and Jocko, Mr. Koontz introduces characters that individually, are
