The City of Night (Frankenstein, Book Two)
Author: Dean Koontz
Category: Fiction
Reviewer: Jan Woodcock
Department/Position: Library Media
Summary: The manufactured young man who went AWOL from Victor Helios-ne-Frankenstein's labs in Prodigal Son turns out to be not the only improved Frankenstein monster who is behaving strangely. Some of his "normal" fellows are mutating, none more spectacularly than Victor's body guard. Thus begins the second part of the Frankenstein series. Deucalion, the original monster, now greatly humanized realizes that the mutations portend a much larger wave of breakdowns among the so-called New Race. That bodes very ill for a New Orleans heavily salted with Victor's creations, all of them programmed to kill mere humans at Victor's command, which the mutants no longer obey. Meanwhile, NOPD detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison prepare to hunt Victor down, even as a couple of hit-person New Racers tracks them. And then there is Erica Five, Victor's brand-new "wife," learning to be a better spouse by exploring hubby's house and discovering a mysterious entity housed in a sealed clear container behind a hidden door. Look for part three early next year.
Recommended Audience: Young adult and adult
Rating: 4
