It'll be in stores on the 28th.

I'm so excited for this novel. I'm gonna read book one and two before the third gets released. It's been so long since the second came out (five years) It felt like it was gonna end up being the book worlds version of "Duke Nukem Forever".

Great news about Frankenstein 3.

I'm reading his new book, Relentless, now and it may be his best since Life Expectancy (at least so far).

I see he has another, Breathless, coming out in November and another co-written one, Nevermore, coming out in October and another, I, Trixie, Who is Dog, a kids book coming out in October.

He's not slowing down.

You mean the third Christopher Snow novel?

Glad to hear the 3rd book is finally coming out. Now I just have to refresh myself on how the 2nd one ended. Been years since I read it.

For those interested, Koontz has signed on for 3 more Frankenstein books.

Quote:

Bantam Books has signed Dean for three new FRANKENSTEIN novels, which will be the first of the series to be published in hardcover, it was announced by Gina Centrello, President and Publisher of the Random House Publishing Group.

Dean's FRANKENSTEIN series has been a publishing phenomenon in the United States and abroad, topping bestseller lists across the country. The eagerly awaited third volume, DEAD AND ALIVE, went straight to #1 on the New York Times paperback bestseller list on its release last July and remained near the top of that list and others for weeks afterward.

The first new volume, LOST SOULS, will be published in June 2010 and begins a brand new story cycle that will unfold over the two subsequent books, tentatively planned for release in successive summers. LOST SOULS will pick up the action two years after the close of the previous volume, as the characters are settled into new lives. The setting moves to the American West, primarily Montana, and a new villain who makes the original Victor Frankenstein look tame arrives on the scene.

"I really enjoy writing this series," Koontz commented. "Its special conventions allow me to explore the timeless themes of the Frankenstein story--man's story--from an entirely fresh perspective."

I loved the first two books but thought the third so poorly writen that I was glad the series ended. It seemed like Koontz was tired and just wanted it over with. The ending was stupid and pointelss. The whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth and I doubt I'll give his new series a second chance.

Did anyone here actually like it?
