Summary: 16 years
Review: This series goes on and on and on and on. And I will read the next one, the one after that etc. I have spent it seems like at least 15 years reading this epic. Epic is almost too small a word to describe how many books this story follows. Looking forward to the next book and finding it published is always a nice pleasure to relish.

Summary: "The Grand Finale" A Masterpiece by Lumley
Review: THIS WAS A BRILLIANT ENDING TO A TERRIFIC SAGA. I FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO PUT THIS ONE DOWN. FROM THE BEGINNING IT PICKS UP EXACTLY WHERE DEFILERS LEFT OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITES. LUMLEY IS THE MASTER OF PUTTING THE READER RIGHT INTO THE STORY, I FELT THAT I WAS FIGHTING THE BATTLE AGAINST THE WAMPHYRI. IT WILL BE A SHAME TO NOT HAVE ANY MORE NECROSCOPE NOVELS TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

Summary: The ride had to end some time.
Review: While Brian Lumley's final installment to the Necroscope saga wasn't exactly all I had personally hoped it would be, it was still an incredibly fantastic read! Truly worthy Necroscope fans worldwide!Taken as the final series installment it certainly brings closure to all the various loose-ends that have been dangling out there. Taken as a whole in all of the thirteen novels . . . it fits beautifully in the Necroscope time line. To call this novel a "stale" bottle of wine is vastly incorrect. "Necroscope: Avengers" is an integral component to a brilliant and impressive tapestry. My only regret is that the ride had to end. It's been a lot of fun over the years. The entire Necroscope saga has been thoroughly well-crafted and entertaining! Jake Cutter may have been a reluctant Necroscope, but he did an admirable job regardless. After three novels, some of the arguments between Jake and Ben Trask of E-Branch were becoming just a tiny bit tedious, but that's merely a MINOR complaint of mine. The rest of the story more than makes up for this! I especially enjoyed how Jake dealt with his unwanted "house-guest" Korath. That was a very well written sequence. Thirteen novels! Over a decade of entertainment! And most of all, characters that became like family members! What more could you want? Thank-you, Mr. Lumley. Simply, thank-you for sharing with us the world of the Necroscope and the Wamphyri. The entire series will always have a special place in my heart.

Summary: Brilliant, But the Ending Blows the Story to Hell
Review: While the final tale in the harrowing Necroscope series may not be such an original concept as the first five of compilation, it is fallacious to refer to Avengers as "stale." Lumley once again proves that he can weave a masterful tale and utilize those threads of treachery, deceit, and utter mayhem that we have come not only to appreciate, but love, in our own Necrofan way. From the beginning, we find that two of our least favorite "people" are once again up no good, but where is Szwart? Will he appear later in the plot, or has he been annihilated for good by Jake's assault upon the Lord of Darkness's spore garden beneath London itself? Even if Szwart is just so much metamorphic flesh buried beneath an entire city, he has had one last jab at the humans of the world--his spore garden has sprouted an ugly offshoot disease across the whole of southern Great Britain, and we know the symptoms all too well by now. Harry finally reappears, and Lumley again shows us that he is one of the greatest authors out there with the way that he weaves the sequence of events together into a tapestry that flows perfectly into what happens next, when Turkey becomes the focus point of the latest hunt. Unfortunately, this hellish roller coaster comes to an abrupt and hideous halt about 30 pages from the end. Lumley seems not to have planned it too well, and no spoilers can be found here, but the main theme of the final 30-odd pages seems to be "If Harry, Turgo, and Harry Jr. could do it, why can't we?" That is not only incongruous, but just bad story resolution in general. While the actual showdowns at the end break the horrendous turn of events and the all-too-quick alteration of opinions, they cannot hide the sheer putrefaction that takes place. It's not the pace of the ride that I mind, nor do I mind the curves and potholes in the road--it's when the car flies off the cliff that I want to bail.

Summary: Necroscope the 13th
Review: With the 13th novel in the Necroscope series, Brian Lumley brings it all to a close. Now, I must say that I have enjoyed the entire series, but these last bits with Jake Cutter as the Necroscope do seem a bit forced. This book is a far cry from the classic that is the first Necroscope, or my personal favs, the Vamipire World trilogy (Blood Brothers, Last Aerie, Bloodwars). It does tie up several loose ends left from the Lost Years. Brian Lumley has said that this would be the last in the series and he is being true to his word. I give this three stars, because I was drawn in until the very end. His human characters continue to be "real" while his vampires continue to go beyond anything Stoker or Rice could dream up.

Summary: Nice wrap-up. Lame final chapter.
Review: Wrapped up the series, answered the questions posed it the previous two books. Personally, I liked the book, but thought the ending - the final dozen pages - were pretty shoddy. It seemed that he ran out of ideas so wrapped it up with some mental time travel so we see how the future turns out.
