Editorial Review:
From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the legend, you know only half the truth. Here is the mystery, the myth, the terror, and the magic of…Dean Koontz's City of the NightThey 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.

Rating:  - Awesome!
One of my favorite Koontz books so far! Just need book 3 to be released!
Rating: - Victor Helios/Frankenstein continues his malicious plan for annihilation of the Old Race
I strongly recommend reading 'Frankenstein: Prodigal Son' first, since the first books ends in a cliffhanger leading to 'Frankenstein: City Of Night'.
As we left the first book in the series, detectives Carson O'Conner and Michael Maddison were hot on the tail of Victor Helios, aka Dr. Frankenstein. Still alive after two hundred and forty years, Victor continues his practice of creating life, but now using new technology to "grow" his creations rather than piece them together from graveyard ...

Rating:  - Dean Koontz needs his meds
How is it possible that Koontz can write dozens of books about Odd Thomas (lamer by the minute) dogs (please, there's one in every story now and it's getting old) but can't find the time to finish his best work to date???
The Frankenstein story he tells is engaging and fresh yet he keeps postponing release of book three to the benefit of that lame brained Thomas and whatever religious claptrap he seems to love so much these days (the "taking" anyone?) That too, what's up with the sudden religiosity? ... Read More
Rating: - Where is book 3 please?
Really loved the premise for this trilogy. Book one (Prodigal) is definitely a five star, and the review on this one would have gotten four stars, but we've been waiting quite a while now for the third installment.
I can understand how the movie version of Prodigal might have put the author off. (Totally miscast.) Still, I hate to be left hanging on a good story.
And I'm sure other loyal readers feel the same way.
Rating: - Just didn't grab me
Maybe it's my distracted state of mind but I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as Frankenstein Prodigal Son . I didn't find it very interesting and found my mind drifting away throughout most of it. I think the thing I liked best about the first book in the series was learning more about the monster but in this book he's more of a secondary character in a cast full of secondary characters. Actually, when I think about it, the action seemed to be more of the main focus of the book than any of the characters ... Read More
