Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Malevolent aliens, the Mordri Three decide to become so evil that God himself will have to stop them.  They can alter flesh with a simple touch, literally turning people inside out or seeding them with cancer.  The Three have already destroyed an entire solar system and most of their own race.  Their subsequent targets: mankind and Earth!
 
 On Earth, Scott St. John is mourning his beloved wife when he is struck by a golden arrow of light—a fragment of the soul of Harry Keogh, the original Necroscope—and gains powers he does not understand.  A mysterious, beautiful woman appears, desperately trying to warn Scott about something . . . then vanishes mid-word.  Scott dreams of a very unusual Wolf, who begs him—in human speech—for rescue.
 
 A fledgling Necroscope, a telepathic Wolf, a beautiful woman from beyond the stars, the ghost of Harry Keogh, the best of E-Branch’s psychic fighting forces, and a dead girl who is not yet ready to seek her just reward must defeat three impossibly strong, psychically gifted monsters whose touch literally melts flesh from bone.

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Liked it, but miss Harry
I was so excited to see a new Necroscope book that I read it right away. I do really like it, but I miss Harry and the vampires. It was an interesting take and I can see where there can be lots of possibilities in the future.
Some of the things would be plot spoilers, but I like ones that have continuting characters, which this seems to lack.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - fresh spin on an epic series
Many people have complained at the lack of a Wamphyri storyline in this retro continuitous Necroscope novel, but to me that is the most refreshing point of the novel.

This is among Lumley's most fluid narrative and dialogue and the characters are written with sensitivy and purpose. There is more varied emotion in the dialogue, which in the past several novels has everyone growling at each other. There is a scene when the hero Scott St John- who's character I feel great empathy for, more so than the gruff ponytailed Necroscope Jake Cutter- very first gets the gift of "deadspeak" and it was was one of the most moving sections in any of the Necroscope novels.

This book has an original, gripping, WEIRD sci-fi, horror, mysterious story line, and I was fascinated throughout. It could be looked at as a seperate entity from the series as a whole and would be a terrific jumping on point for anyone interested in testing the waters of this masterful series.

Although it is believed that the Wamphyri storyline has been brought to a permanent conclusion, after reading this book, and knowing that the future is a devious thing, and what will be has been, I'm going to live vicariously through the precog Ian Goodly and predict that Lumley will create another storyline involving e-branch. The Wamphyri might be eliminated, but e-branch lives on and who knows how many golden darts from harry Keough have found it's target, and how many stories can be told....I can only hope.





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - New Necroscope!
When I heard about the new book by Mr. Lumley, featuring a new Necroscope, I couldn't wait to get it! To me, the book and characters are fantastic! I'm about half way through the book and I get kinda angry when I don't have time to really get into it! I'm anxious to see just what kind of powers will bloom in Scott St. John, and how he'll deal with the three alien "vampires".



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good book
Not the best book by this author but good none the less. a must have for all those necroscope junkies like me.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Necroscope "rocks"
Well...maybe "rocks" isn't the best word, or then again, maybe it is. I love all the stories of this series. My ONLY complaint is that there are not more of them in the making (or are there?). I didn't particularly care for the ending, only because it smacks of a kind of finality that might indicate no sequels. Not that it wasn't good...just hoping there are more to follow. If you liked the others, you'll like this one also.
