The first three books form a trilogy, Book 5) first being Prodigal Son published inCity of Nightand Dead and Alive Lost Souls and The Dead Town, Book 5) fourth and the fifth books were published in and respectively. It was initially thought that the 4th, 5th and 6th novels in the series would form the second trilogy, but it was later confirmed that The Dead Town was the final series installment. The series is supposedly a modern updated and the sequel of the Frankenstein Mythology written Book 5) Mary Shelley, even though the similarities are only superficial. It is set in New Orleans and follows the adventures of Victor Frankenstein, popularly known as Victor Helios as he lives to create new life forms for his own purposes. However, his activities are continually opposed by a pair of detectives and the Deucalion, the original monster created by Frankenstein. While Deucalion was created using parts of dead humans, Frankenstein is now making the use of synthetic biology to create more monsters. The new race of creatures he is going Book 5) entirely constructed and designed from head to toe and can be viewed as bio-androids. Their behavior and knowledge are based on the programs installed into their brains, an advanced form of wetware computer. The book introduces, Deucalion, a tattooed man of unknown origin who has traveled through centuries carrying with him a secret worse than death. He first arrives as a serial killer, stalks the street and then selects his victim for the humanity that is missing in him. They are both investigating the random killings in the streets of New Orleans, and suddenly Carson is following a lead of alleged immortal killers that are less human and soon it will be evidently clear that as crazy as she Book 5) sound, the pure truth is more sinister. Prodigal Son is a brilliant read. The Koontz does an excellent job of recreating a modern version of the Frankenstein mythos without altering the original version of history that the world knows. How could they have lived The Dead Town (Dean Koontzs Frankenstein the present day? What would be their agenda in the current world? The narrative is well paced, and the characterization is also brilliantly done. First, there is Deucalion, Helios original creation. He is a monster like, disastrous and unlike other creations, he is intelligent and holds a belief that a bolt of lightning gave him a soul. Deucalion has a deeper understanding of the quantum nature of the universe, and this allows him to teleport to different destinations around the world and also makes objects disappear and reappear. In Koontz version of the story, when this monster attempted to attack its creator, Frankenstein activated a small bomb that he has implanted on its head. However, the bomb did not kill the monster but severely deformed its face. Victor Frankenstein also known as Helios is the creator of Deucalion. To the public, he is a millionaire, but in reality, he experienced too much in the last two centuries since the day he created a man from pieces of part of dead bodies. After his first creation failed, Helios underwent several body modifications to improve his physical power and extend his lifespan, but these processes left him physically deformed and scarred. She The Dead Town (Dean Koontzs Frankenstein harsh but sometimes brutal, and her best friend is Book 5) Madison, a fellow officer. Carson takes care of her autistic brother whose condition forms an important role in the story. She is caring, and this is what makes Deucalion approach her for aid to track down his creator. Michael Madison is a homicide detective and Carlos partner. He has a habit of making satirical observations about any situation. He is more imaginative than Carson and wishes for a more casual and a less career-professional relationship with Carson. Moreover, if you think you know the legend of Frankenstein, you are dead wrong; here is The Dead Town (Dean Koontzs Frankenstein myth, mystery, magic, and terror of the Dead Koontz City of Night. Victor new creations are stronger, lethal, heal faster and are intelligent that the human race. Not even their creator, Helios can stop these engineered killers that he has set loose to bring havoc to New Orleans. Dean Koontz is an amazing novelist as showcased in this second book in the series. His imagination of the Book 5) and his army of frenzied creatures roaming in the new New Orleans is just incredible.

  • Film Flashback… Ghostbusters & Gremlins Opened
    Monday, June 7, 2021 | No. 171 Film Flashback… Ghostbusters & Gremlins Opened on 6/8/1984 Weekends with two major openings that aren't targeted to the same audience typically boost box office business – as we just saw Memorial Day weekend. There was, however, a time when studios didn't always avoid going head-to-head with the wrong films. The classic example of what not to do occurred June 8, 1984 when Columbia opened Ivan Reitman's action fantasy GHOSTBUSTERS and Warner Bros. launched Joe Dante's action fantasy GREMLINS. Both were going to play best to younger males. Both studios wanted to kick-off that weekend because in those days early June was when most schools had just closed for the summer, so younger males were now able to see movies all week long. GHOSTBUSTERS looked the strongest. Reitman had already directed hit comedies like MEATBALLS (1979 - $43M) & STRIPES (1981 - $85M). His new film had big star power – Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd & Sigourney Weaver. GREMLINS' Joe Dante hadn't directed any big hits yet but had gotten lots of attention with his werewolf film THE HOWLING (1981 - $18M). Stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates & Hoyt Axton weren't as well-known as GHOSTBUSTERS' star trio. GREMLINS did have some significant star power behind the camera in executive producer Steven Spielberg, whose Gremlins opened on 6/8/1984, INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF DOOM had just opened Memorial Day weekend to Directed by Joe Dante and Executive $42.3M and would do $333M worldwide. Despite industry speculation that one title might Produced by Steven Spielberg move, both studios stayed the course.

    Monday, June 21, 2021 | No. 173 Film Flashback… JAWS Opened on 6/20/1975 Our summer box office recovery got a blockbuster start with A QUIET PLACE PART 2 and will soon be delivering likely blockbusters such as F9 and BLACK WIDOW. We take mega-hits for granted now, but 46 years ago there weren't any. Blockbuster business requires very wide distribution with costly marketing campaigns to drive moviegoers into theatres opening weekend. That's not something studios did until June 20, 1975 when Universal opened Steven Spielberg's scary thriller JAWS about a great white shark terrorizing a summer resort. It starred Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw & Richard Dreyfuss. Spielberg wasn't quite "Spielberg" yet. He'd only made one feature, Universal's crime drama SUGARLAND EXPRESS starring Goldie Hawn, but it put him on track to do bigger things. For his next film, he convinced SE's well connected power producers Richard D. Zanuck & David Brown to let him direct JAWS. In 1973 they'd purchased the rights to JAWS pre-publication for $175,000. JAWS had the right ingredients to be a blockbuster. It was based on Peter Benchley's bestselling novel, had a high concept action storyline and beach settings that were perfect for summertime moviegoing. Jaws (1975) is widely credited as In those days, studios didn't open movies at 4,000 theatres with expensive TV ad campaigns. the first Summer Blockbuster Films typically opened in New York & L.A. and, perhaps, a few other major markets where they Click to Play were reviewed and generated publicity -- in newspapers & magazines and on radio.
