Summary: Lumley's Invaders Doesn't Measure Up
Review: While Invaders is a decent read, it's nowhere near the level of previous Necroscope novels. Invaders is more of an introduction to the E-Branch books than a full-fledged novel. Lumley spends over 70 pages relating the vampires' backstories which, while interesting, is in the past and contains no drama or action. As one reviewer mentioned, the vampires' abilities are very familiar.There was very little actual vampire action in the book. The bulk of it deals with E-Branch preparing to engage the vampires and the new protagonist's indoctrination into E-Branch. There is a moderate use of obscenity.

Summary: The 1st of a top-notch series!
Review: This is a great novel! The start of a legacy that puts Anne Rice's vampire books to shame. These vampires would eat hers up in a beat of a single heartbeat! Do yourself a favor and get this whole series, its one of those that gets better and better...

Summary: Lumley keeps it coming
Review: This book has it all: action, espionage, adventure, fantasy, horror and macabre . I hesitate to judge this work as a comparison of Lumley's other works. The truth is that no one comes close to doing what Lumley has done with the Necroscope series. This work is head and entrails above others in the genre.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This one is just what I've been waiting for. I loved the inital trilogy, DeadSpeak bored me, DeadSpawn was great. The Vampire world trilogy i didn't get beyond book One in, because book 2 was just a retelling of book one. The Lost years books were also great, but they were a little lighter than the previous ones. This book is amazing. The Vampires aren't completely new ideas, but they are new in how they act and how they're developed. I think this is an excellent book.

Summary: Good book, but Lumley seems to be running out of gas
Review: As an avid Lumley fan, I have read, and re-read many times all of the previous 10 books in his Necroscope series. This book, while fun to read, does not contain much new content. Without giving away any spoilers, let me just say that the plot is mainly about things Brian has written about before. The 3 new Wamphryi lords are not that different than any others he has written about. One is a strong mentalist (hhmmm, seems like we've seen that one before), one is a "beautiful" lady (Wratha part 2?) and the third actually is a fairly new idea. One of Lumley's main strengths is how he fleshes out and develops his characters. However, I felt that his main character Jake wasn't given the same treatment and detail that he deserved. He was brought along very quickly, and it left an empty feeling in me as I remembered how deeply involved I was brought into the Harry Keough character. All in all, it was a good book, and sets up the next one's well. I can tell that this series doesn't hold the same love for Lumley as before though, because the attention to detail just isn't there. If you are an avid fan like me, I encourage you to read it. If you are a newcomer to the Lumley world, read his other Necroscope books first, they are much better.

Summary: Excellent description of the vampire ideology
Review: Necroscope exhibits all of the romantic and science fiction characteristics that we have come to expect from the vampire world. But unlike many contemporaries, who write of a new-found humane behaviour in these creatures, Lumley more than shows the darkness, the cunning, and the complete ideology of vampires. He does not attempt to have the reader empathize their plight, but rather shows the utter drollness and egotism that clouds the vampire. Thibor Ferenczy, though later superceded by his "father", Faethor, in following chapters, is the very essence of caniving and deviance. He recreates his own evil plans in a young boy, tutoring him in the ways of necromancy(stealing secrets from the dead), telepathy, and, of course, killing. Lumley also produces the hero of hero's, a seemingly misunderstood young man that turns out to be the savior of the world, i.e. Jesus. Again, in later books, he personifies some christian tales into the scheme of the storylines. But in Necroscope, the only similarities are the saving of the world, a battle which is only the very beginning of the war. Overall, excellent descriptions of locale and developement of character. Slightly wordy at times, but all the more to keep you in suspense. I condone the pursuit of his other Necroscope related novels, mostly with Harry Keogh as the icon.

Summary: Move over Anne Rice
Review: I have always been a fan of Anne Rice, but she just can't compare to Lumley! This book was awesome!!! Definitely for vampire readers across the world!!! Lumley doesn't bore you with over- extravagant details, he gives you what you want....suspense, action, and vampire horror. Looks like I have a new favorite author. Great job, Mr. Lumley!

Summary: Brian Lumley, all I ask is that you keep 'em coming.
Review: The best series of books I have ever read (finished reading them one after the other). The Necroscope is one hell of a character. The entire 7 books are safely stored in my collection and await the others in the series. They won't be waiting long.
