Invaders

I have never read the Necroscope series. But I picked up Invaders, and after a slow start to read it, I was hooked! Brian Lumley has brought vampires back to what they were meant to be. Scary!

Before l start l would please ask people to stop comparing Anne Rice and Brian Lumely, the only thing these books have in common with each other is the idea of Vampires and even then there ideas differ greatly. If you take the romantic view of vampires then stick with Anne Rice, however if you want blood, guts and the pure evil which is the Wamphyri then Brian is the man for you. In Invaders Brian Lumley does it again, l loved all of the Necroscope Series and was happy to see that his flair for taking you into the book so that you feel part of the story has not left him. I had to say l was curious as to how he would bring back the necroscope and was surprised not to see Nathan make an apperance but someone completly new. This new Necroscope is good but has nothing on Harry or Nathan.....yet. Jake is a bit to weak a character for me, he does not have that cold indiference that l have come to expect from the Necroscope, l hope this changes in the next two books. Again, like in many of Lumleys other books the star's of the show are the Vampires themseleves, however we have only had an appereance from one of them so far, can not wait to see what Lumley does with the other two. The highlight of this book for me is E-Branch themselves. Many of the characters we already know well and is good to read about how they are doing and how far E-Branch have come. This is a very well written book and is a must read for all who are of a morbid frame of mind. Brilliant!

SOMEONE KEEPS TRYING TO COMPARE BRIAN LUMLEY TO THIS"ANNE" SOMEBODY OR OTHER I SAY LET LADY KAREN LOOSE ON HER WHOEVER SHE IS. ANYWAY THE NECROSCOPE SERIES FAR OUT SHINES ANYTHING THAT I'VE READ ON VAMPIRES LUMLEY'S PEN/CAMERA PAINTS SUCH VIVID WORD CINEMA THAT AT TIMES WHEN I EXPLAIN A SCENE FROM ONE OF HIS BOOKS I OFTEN REFER TO THEM AS IF I HAD SEEN THEM ON THE BIG SCREEN....HINT! HINT! SO BUY IT READ IT LOVE IT NUFF SAID

This is a nonm stop thriller. most the book is stories about the diffrent characters. it deffintly for people who love vampires or whamphryi as in the storie and it changes the whole vampire theim into something else.its a great book so check it out

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.
