As I sat down to start reading the third book of Brian Lumley's Necroscope series, I admit I was a bit skeptical of it. The first book, Necroscope, was nearly perfect and very enjoyable. In my experience with outstanding first books in a series, it is rare the books that follow ever meet their potential. Brian Lumley has provided a challenger which definitely lives up to its potential.

The novel seemlessly sews two(and potentially more) books together and clears up many of the questions left from the previous two books. This book is not just a rehash of his previous books, but still touches the back to past events.

Also, for readers of Lumley who have waited awhile to pick up this edition, they should not let that stop them. Lumley includes enough details about the past books to refresh your memory. It had been almost a year since I read Necroscope II and this books rushed those great memories right back in full force.

Definitely get this book and read it, it will bring that passion for the (un)dead back like nothing else.

Lumley has done it again with this great sequal to his preveious two books. It reintroduces one of my preveious favorite characters (Zek) and introduces some new ones! This story I must adimt, as well as his previous book (Vamphryi) was not as strong as his first book Necroscope, though this is a great book altogether anyway! I highly suggest this book for anyone who enjoys reading vampire novels, enjoys good blood as well as action!

Five Stars! Go Lumley!

This installment is one of the best horror/sci-fi/fantasy series that is in existence today. The writing is some of the best - fast-paced and frightingly real-like. It makes you almost believe the history of the vampires is real its so well done. And then he throws in werewolves! These are novels that you will want to re-read over and over - GUARANTEED! I don't even usually read this genre of book, but Lumley does it soooo well with an added mixture that mixes so well together. If only hollywood were smart enough to make this into a film, were talking for sure MEGA-BUCKS people! A must read.

Brian Lumley has created the ultimate in horror. He combined the horror of the ultimate predator and prey. The Wamphyri are the ultimate in vampires, yet redefining the term "vampire" Harry is the ultimate in humanity and power. Through his weird Necroscope powers, he propels the reader into the horror of the counter-earth breeding place of vampires and the ultimate showdown of good vs. evil

I read this book and soon following, I devoured the rest of the series eagerly awaiting the next sequel to this highly evolved nightmare tale. Though it has been almost 2 years since I read the conclusion of the Necroscope's tale, I still find myself thinking about that strange, evil, yet horribly compelling world which Brian Lumely constructed. After reading this the entire series I was sad to see it end, but knew it must. My conception of the Vampire was so radically altered by this tale that I have not been satisfied by any other versions of this mystic creature. None have given it the power, or the malignant beauty that Lumly has crafted. I am awed and terrified by the Necroscope series

This is THE vampire book. The third book in the Necroscope series was the first book that I started to read when I got into reading horror. This is my favorite book and I have read it three times in the last six years. It's like your favorite movie, you just have to keep watching it over and over again.

the Source is an excellent stand alone novel in a compelling series about the vampire hunter, Harry Keough. In this exciting story, we adventure to the vampires homeland. Lumley chills with his descriptions and keeping you glued to the page with every sharp turn of the knife! An excellent book.

I am a huge fan of the first two books in the series, and I was really expecting the same kind of intensity that books one and two had. Most of the story takes place on another planet in another dimension, and I didn't like it as much as the previous two books where everything occured in our world.

My final recommendation: Read it only after the first two books in the series. The fourth book is definitely worth the effort.

If I had to pick one book out of the 1st 5 Necroscope books, it would be between this one or Deadspawn, because they both have parts in the Vampire world, which is a fascinating place.

The book was in very good condition. It also didn't take long for the book to arrive.
