Synopsis:
|
Everything begins
falling apart for Victor Immaculate. His vat grown creations once
again transcend their genetic coding and that transcendance is always
in the form of breaking. Builders take on non-biological matter and
can't reproduce properly, the replacement clones begin to obsess and
lose sight of their mission.
Through it all,
Michael and Carson begin helping the townsfolk defend themselves
while Deucalion hunts Victor down. Deucalion snaps Victor's neck, the
creations fall apart upon their creator's death and Deucalion can now
walk quantumly through the Light instead of skulking through the
Shadows.

My
Thoughts:
|
Even while I was expecting this story to turn out like this, it was
still disappointing to have it actually happen. This followed the
exact same pattern as the first trilogy but without any finesse or
style. Evil simply falls apart and the good guys win by default.
Also, I already wrote this review, forgot to post it online, forgot I
hadn't posted it and deleted the hard copy from Open Office. So I'm
writing this all over again. That always ruins things.
Basically, I didn't enjoy this book or this series overall. I
wouldn't recommend it but I am going to continue dipping my toes into
the Koontz universe. I've got 20 of his books available so I'm going
to go exploring and see what I find. I hope I find better things
than this book.
If anyone has read some of his standalone stuff, feel free to make
recommendations in the comments, otherwise I'm just going to start
picking stuff randomly.
