Dean Koontz's Frankenstein

They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever created; and they must be destroyed. But not even Victor Helios (once Frankenstein) can stop the engineered killers he?s set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Now the only hope rests in a one-time monster? and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson O?Connor and Michael Maddison. Deucalion?s centuries-old history began as Victor?s first and failed attempt to build the perfect human and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator. But first Deucalion must destroy a monstrosity not even Victor?s malignant mind could have imagined; an indestructible entity that steps out of humankind?s collective nightmare with one purpose: to replace us.
