Yet in the midst of their peril, love will blossom, and joy, and they will discover sources of strength and perseverance they have not imagined.

As they gather at a small Montana town, old alliances will be renewed and tested, from within and without, for the dangers they face will eclipse any they have yet encountered.

They are drawn together in different ways, by omens sinister and wondrous, to the same shattering conclusion: Two years after they saw him die, the man they knew as Victor Helios lives on. In their hands rests nothing less than the survival of humanity itself. It is up to five people to prove him wrong. With a powerful, enigmatic backer and a secret location where the enemies of progress can’t find him, Victor is certain that this time nothing can stop him. Using stem cells, “organic” silicon circuitry, and nanotechnology, he will engender a race of superhumans-the perfect melding of flesh and machine. Victor Leben, once Frankenstein, has seen the future - and he’s ready to populate it. It is a story of revenge, redemption, and the thin line that separates human from inhuman.

But this time Victor has a mysterious, powerful new backer, and he and his army are more formidable, their means and intentions infinitely more deadly, than ever before.BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Dean Koontz's The City.In Frankenstein: Lost Souls, Dean Koontz puts a singular twist on this classic tale of ambition and science gone wrong, to forge a new legend uniquely suited to our times.
