Book Description

Release Date: May 24 2011 | Series: Frankenstein (Book 5)
Dean Koontz’s enthralling Frankenstein series has redefined the classic legend of infernal ambition and harrowing retribution for a new century and a new age. Now the master of suspense delivers an unforgettable novel that is at once a thrilling adventure in itself and a mesmerizing conclusion to his saga of the modern monsters among us.
 
FRANKENSTEIN: THE DEAD TOWN
 
The war against humanity is raging. As the small town of Rainbow Falls, Montana, comes under siege, scattered survivors come together to weather the onslaught of the creatures set loose upon the world. As they ready for battle against overwhelming odds, they will learn the full scope of Victor Frankenstein’s nihilistic plan to remake the future—and the terrifying reach of his shadowy, powerful supporters.

Now the good will make their last, best stand. In a climax that will shatter every expectation, their destinies and the fate of humanity hang in the balance.

2.0 out of 5 stars Readable but nothing special Jun 19 2011
By Rachel Mader
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really loved the first two books, was kinda bored with the third one and really bored with the fourth one but this one seemed more interesting at first. Unfortunately, the majority of the time was used to setup the final battle, so it could get repetitive after awhile. I think the problem was there were just too many characters, so very little happens with any one of them. Koontz even introduces a totally new character around 2/3 of the way through who adds little to nothing to the overall story! Our two favourite detectives are barely even in the story, they definitely take a back seat to the myriad of others. Deucalion is basically the only one who gets to do something. While there is some decent action, it was very repetitive (most of it involved the builders killing people). Unfortunately after all this setup there is an anticlimatic ending, in my opinion. At least fans get a concrete ending this time around, even if it is unbelievable.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is it? May 31 2011
By RStringini - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
To say I was disappointed with this book is putting it lightly. I've loved this series since the first book, but starting with Lost Souls and now this... I've been really let down.

That isn't to say that there aren't good parts to this book. Erika V and Jocko are still great characters, and there are a few interesting scenes, but in the end the book is a mess. Victor is a laughable antagonist, whose so arrogent that he never really feels like a threat. The Builders are interesting, but they get overused, and the book lacks the darker, violent edge that made the first two so interesting.

The biggest problem is the sheer number of plotlines. When new characters and storylines are still being introduced during the last 75 pages, it just screams of padding. Then the ending, which should be pulse pounding and exciting, is glossed over and tied up with a "and they all lived happily ever after."

Really not very good, and a disappointing way to wrap things up.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book reminds me of why I love Dean Koontz May 27 2011
By charlotte vibble - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The fifth and final book in the Frankenstein series has reminded me of why I am such a fan of Dean Koontz. It is gripping from beginning to end and really hard to tear yourself away from.I had been losing faith in Koontz, as more and more of his books had left me with a "what a waste of my time" kind of feeling, and when I began reading the 4th book I was very concerned I was again going to be disappointed, but Koontz really pulled it off. My complaint with some of his recent novels has been that he has spent so much of the novel developing and building up, that I find myself 30 pages from the end with no hint of a resolution, and the conclusion feels like he was running out of time and tried to wrap everything up too quickly. Thus was my worry as I delved into book 4. It seemed like he was introducing too many characters and too many settings to be able to adequately be able to flesh each out and bring back in to a neat conclusion, but he DEFINITELY succeeded! I would have liked to hear a bit more on the resolution (on both the good and bad guys sides) but all in all I felt that most of the questions were answered, and the story was brought to a very well rounded out conclusion. I'd like to see Koontz return to writing novels this gripping as the standard, as opposed to this being a rare gem in an increasingly disappointing line up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great May 25 2011
By Edison T. Crux - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Dean Koontz's depiction of the classic Frankenstein tale. So, since reading Lost Souls I have anxiously been waiting for the next installment.

The Dead Town was an enjoyable book. Koontz has a way of bringing characters to life that keeps me coming back. Carson and Michael are as quick-witted as ever. Erika and Jocko are still amusing in their oddities. Deucalion shines in this novel. And Victor Immaculate, who was barely glimpsed before, shows the mindset of absolute domination and total arrogance that defines him. A lot of side characters had plenty of action, which has good and bad points.

It did get repetitive, however. The Builders are interesting, but it seemed to go over the same scenes with them over and over. The ending was not as dramatic as I hoped, but it was a long way from disappointing.

Overall, I liked the book. If you liked Lost Souls, you will probably enjoy The Dead Town.
