Summary: The Family Is Back!
Review: "~Well this is an interesting concept. I barely remembered that years must have passed between the time when Harry's son disappeared and he found him again as the Dweller."~ sequel to that? That is another amazing piece of work.

Summary: This book adds meat to the Necroscope series
Review: After reading the first seven books in this remarkable series, I thought that all that could be said was, then The Lost Years came out. This book deffinately filled in all the gaps in the life of Harry, and the various vampire lords that survived in our world. The one entry that shows how much these lords hated each other, was when a small german town was bombed during the second world war, for not other reason than the fact that a vampire lord was suspected of living in this area. There was so much information in this book, but yet it still explained the things that shaped and helped flesh out the man simply known as Harry. For those that have read this series of books, I certainly recomend that they read this book, it will explain a lot of the things that were left to speculation. This book is a must read.

Summary: A sequel which was best left undone
Review: Brian Lumley's Necroscope books are certainly engrossing and very enjoyable to read. All the other books in the series, at least, apart from the two Lost Years novels. They look promising enough by the blurbs on the back: the Necroscope is caught up in a struggle between evil vampire lords. Now, given how cool Thibor Ferenczy was in the original, this sounded great. But it turns out to move incredibly slowly. The first part of this book is focused on an event that could have been condensed to a much smaller size and the book would have been better off. After that, it starts to get better, with three vampire clans all conspiring to kill each other off and take over the world, but then winds down to an incredibly slow pace, with little happening but talk of 'when I rise up from my eternal slumber' and 'when I've got enough demon-bats' and worst of all, 'when I feel like it' from the vampire lords, and with an extremely confusing series of events from Harry Keogh's point of view left me very disappointed after how much I enjoyed the other books in the series.

Summary: One of the worst books I've ever read
Review: It may be that you have to read every other book in the series to enjoy this book, but if so, well, I can't help but say that seems ridiculous. The book was confusing, wandered over a large number of storylines incomprehensibly, and the writing was pedantic and heavy handed. I felt like I was reading a pulp novelist that was pretending to write a newspaper article.I don't know what the other reviewers enjoyed so much about this book, but I felt that another viewpoint might be welcome, and perhaps necessary - after all, I bought this book because of the reviews, and it was a mistake.

Summary: A great addition to the Necroscope series!
Review: Necroscope: The Lost Years is a great book that really added spice to the rest of the series. It cleared up any spots you might have mis-understood earlier in the series. It's about a man who can talk to the dead and also has the ability to teleport himself through space and time. It has a very good story line and Brian Lumley made a good decision when he decided to continue the series. I've been reading this series for a couple months now and ceased to amaze me how luring and attractive that book is to read. You put the book down and you want to pick it right back up. I suggest reading this book. You won't regret it.

Summary: Great for you vampiire lovers
Review: The book had cuss words and sexual comments which i didn't mind but maybe some people might mind. It got a little confusing sometimes. I like vampire story's and if you do i think this book would fit you.

Summary: Necroscope
Review: The whole Necroscope series has kept me on the edge of my seat just waiting for the next book to be released. The first book will get you hooked. Brian Lumley has a way of combining history and mythology to get his own very unique version of the vampire world. I have become very attached to the main character Harry Keogh, his assosiation with the E-branch, and the many colorful charaters that Lumly has painted through his masterful creation of alternate reality.
