While Deucalion was created using parts of dead humans, Frankenstein is now making the use of synthetic biology to create more monsters. The new race of creatures he is going is entirely constructed and designed from head to toe and can be viewed as bio-androids.
Their behavior and knowledge are based on the programs installed into their brains, an advanced form of wetware computer. The book introduces, Deucalion, a tattooed man of unknown origin who has traveled through centuries carrying with him a secret worse than death. He first arrives as a serial killer, stalks the street and then selects his victim for the humanity that is missing in him. They are both investigating the random killings in the streets of New Orleans, and suddenly Carson is following a lead of alleged immortal killers that are less human and soon it will be evidently clear that as crazy as she might sound, the pure truth is more sinister.
Prodigal Son is a brilliant read. The Koontz does an excellent job of recreating a modern version of the Frankenstein mythos without altering the original version of history that the world knows. How could they have lived to the present day? What would be their agenda in the current world?
The narrative is well paced, and the characterization is also brilliantly done. First, there is Deucalion, Helios original creation.
He is a monster like, disastrous and unlike other creations, he is intelligent and holds a belief that a bolt of lightning gave him a soul. Deucalion has a deeper understanding of the quantum nature of the universe, and this allows him to teleport to different destinations around the world and also makes objects disappear and reappear.
In Koontz version of the story, when this monster attempted to attack its creator, Frankenstein activated a small bomb that he has implanted on its head. However, the bomb did not kill the monster but severely deformed its face.
Victor Frankenstein also known as Helios is the creator of Deucalion. To the public, he is a millionaire, but in reality, he experienced too much in the last two centuries since the day he created a man from pieces of part of dead bodies. After his first creation failed, Helios underwent several body modifications to improve his physical power and extend his lifespan, but these processes left him physically deformed and scarred.
She is harsh but sometimes brutal, and her best friend is Michael Madison, a fellow officer. Carson takes care of her autistic brother whose condition forms an important role in the story. She is caring, and this is what makes Deucalion approach her for aid to track down his creator. Michael Madison is a homicide detective and Carlos partner. He has a habit of making satirical observations about any situation. He is more imaginative than Carson and wishes for a more casual and a less career-professional relationship with Carson.
Moreover, if you think you know the legend of Frankenstein, you are dead wrong; here is the myth, mystery, magic, and terror of the Dead Koontz City of Night.
Victor new creations are stronger, lethal, heal faster and are intelligent that the human race. Not even their creator, Helios can stop these engineered killers that he has set loose to bring havoc to New Orleans.
Dean Koontz is an amazing novelist as showcased in this second book in the series. His imagination of the Frankenstein and his army of frenzied creatures roaming in the new New Orleans is just incredible.
