Dead and Alive will be the third and final novel in the Dean Koontz's Frankenstein trilogy. Originally intended to be co-authored by Ed Gorman and Dean Koontz, Koontz stated that he would be writing this alone.

[edit] Plot introduction

Deucalion, the legendary monster, is a heroic figure dedicated to battling the evil that gave him life. The megalomaniacal Victor Helios has unleashed his engineered killers on modern-day New Orleans. Detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison are Deucalion's all-too-human partners trying to end the reign of terror of Helios's killers.

[edit] Release information

It has been announced that the long-awaited book will be released in 2009. Koontz chose to delay the release as after hurricane Katrina he did not wish to release any further monsters or destruction on New Orleans. While this has been seen as a measure of respect, it has left his fans eagerly awaiting the final part of the trilogy for far longer than expected.
