At its heart is the sinister warning Mary Shelley issued in the
Introduction to her own Frankenstein: 'Frightful must it be; for
supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to
mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.' Who was
Joe Richter? Anglo-Russian, intelligent, recently sacked as a
translator and lobbyist, assaulted and branded because he had
translated an unusually sensitive historical document. For
adherents of a violent neo-Soviet cult he was a cheat and so much
bourgeois filth. For a wealthy American businessman it could mean
big money. For a Russian oligarch it could mean enormous political
power. For his mother it could mean happiness. For his girlfriend
it could mean serious danger. For Joe himself it meant that he had
to be a new Frankenstein. Has he really been gifted with the power
to be a Frankenstein, to create new life? Does his DNA or bloodline
relate him to a recently deceased relative who was supposed to have
such powers? Aided by the CIA, he flies to California to perform an
act of revitalization, only to find that what this could mean for
world politics also has a deeply troubling personal meaning for Joe
himself.
