Lumley does a commendable job of bringing readers up to speed, but his storyline summaries aren't a proper substitute for reading the series from the beginning. I highly recommend this book, but I would NOT make it the first book that you read in the Necroscope epic. The first book introduces readers to Harry Keogh 'the man who can talk to the dead, the man for whom every grave. I rank it close behind my favorite, Book 3: The Source. The Necroscope series started in 1980, going on to spawn 18 books total. It is one of the best books in the series. I haven't listened to the entire audio version yet, as it was just released yesterday, but I remember the print copy vividly. He creates unique, terrifying new Lords but each has a varying amount of humanity that helps them from becoming boring, robotic vampires.
Lumley is put through his writing paces! His rich descriptions of the stark, horrid, fascinating world and the Wamphyri aeries are outstanding here. Harry may be dead, but his legacy lives on.This being the first Necroscope that takes place (almost?) entirely in the world beyond the gate (Starside/Sunside) Mr. But as Harry himself was witness, death isn't like that. The odds don't look good, and Harry Keogh is dead and gone, his motes scattered throughout the Universes of Light. Three men, their technology and the esoteric talents against shape-changing challengers from a parallel universe. Trask: human lie-detector David Chung: locator of all things evil Ian Goodfly: precog, whose glimpses of the ever-furtive future have so often saved the lives of his E-Branch colleagues. Without Necroscope - the one man who could talk to the dead and undead alike - only Ben Trask and the weirdly talented espers of his secret organisation, E- Branch, stand between Mankind's survival and its domination by terrible invaders from Starside. Īnd the Wamphyri are back - not only in the Vampire World, where the ancient northern ice has melted to release the original, the most evil, most powerful vampires of all time, but in our world, too.
