Product Description:
The third book in the Necroscope series traces the battle between Harry Keogh and the horrifying Vamphyri on their home ground, an alien landscape of looming towers, impossible cliffs, and ravenous vampire-beasts.
Russia's Ural Mountains hide a deadly secret: a supernatural portal to the country of the vampires. Soviet scientists and ESP-powered spies, in a secret military base, study the portal--and the powerfully evil creatures that emerge from it, intent on ravaging mankind.
When Jazz Simmons, a British agent sent to infiltrate the base, is captured by the KGB espionage squad and forced through the portal, his last message tells Harry Keogh, the Necroscope, that the vampires are preparing for a mass invasion.
Harry has only one option--to strike first. He must carry the human-vampire war to the vampire's own lands. But his strongest psychic power will be useless there. What good is the power to summon the dead in a country where nothing ever dies, where every man, woman, and child become half-dead servants of the Vamphyri?

Wow, I just finished reading it and I really love how he brought together all the elements of the very first two books. I wasn't wild on the recaping but the story made up for it.
I'm bit of a junky for alternate earth type stories and this one was pretty good. The story takes place eight years after Vamphyri! with Harry still searching for his wife and son.
The story introduces a few new characters and brings back a few favorites, all leading to the source of all vampires.
I thoroughly enjoy his spin vampire lore. It's a refreshing change to a lot of the stagnate vampire books out there. He takes you to a world where Vampires are allowed to thrive in a unique manner that compels the story along. I really enjoyed it and am actually going to pick up the subsequent books in the series.

After reading Necroscope 2: Vamphyri! I was sceptical about continuing the series. That book had an almost identical climactic finale as the very first book in the series! Boy am i glad i took the plunge on The Source as it takes everything that was good about the very first 2 books and expands it to a much broader level. This is where it all gets interesting.The potential of what the saga will become takes root in this book. Lumley took the ball and ran with it. His writing style improves from book to book as well. This book is a great thrill ride that had me gasping in anticipation when the lead character entered that strange world for the very first time. It's possible to jump right in on this installment, but I highly recommend starting from the beginning so you can take wonder in Lumley's brilliant use of continuity. Lumley is a master of edging the story forward while trteating you to backstory and filling in the areas inbetween. This becomes more evident in the subsequent books in the saga. It kind of reminds me of the formula for the TV show Lost in that regard.

It doesn't matter what book, if it is by Brian Lumley, and it is part of the series you need it. I love every book he has written. They are so good I just wish they would never end. The information in the book is great. The way he words things makes it really easy to picture what your reading. I reccomend this book for anyone who likes reading vampire stuff and Horror, After reading Brian's books no other book has been as good since.

I really enjoyed "Necroscope" (a classic) and "Vamphyri", but this third novel was a disappointment. Most of the exiting elements occur 'offscreen' and are told second-hand; a lot of time is spent on infodumps about the history and geography of the vampire world, which weakened the drama; far too many exclamation points!!! I've heard great things about "Deadspeak" and "Deadspawn", so I will give them a try.

This has been THE best of the Necroscope books and I'm half way through #4. N3 has plenty more action and wierdness in comparison to the other entries in the series. It begins with Soviet E-Branch discovering a portal to another dimension/universe a la STARGATE. Only the portal leads to the origin planet of the Wamphyri!
Jazz Simmons, a British agent is sent--unsuspectingly--to the Perchorsk Project. He learns of a Wamphyri warrior who made it through the portal to the Russian side, where he was immediately burned to cinders in a violent demise. Jazz, the Soviet's enemy, soon finds himself "volunteered" to go through the portal as a Guinea Pig. Prior to being forced through, he learns that others have been banished there ahead of him and there has been no communication from them.
Within, Jazz meets the Travelers, humans constantly on the run from the Wamphyri, who feed on them like cattle. Jazz soon meets up with another esper, Zek Foener, shoved through the portal about a month prior to Jazz. Sparks fly, but the problem is, they learn they cannot return through the same way the came it. Big problem.
Enter Harry Keogh, who is still seeking his missing wife and son. Harry has learned to better control the Mobius continuum and looks for a way out for his friends.
Some real frights in this episode, but Lumley spends too much time on the history and sociology of the Wamphyri and not enough on the truly interesting Perchorsk Project side where the real terror builds. Though billed as the third in a trilogy, this book easily stands alone and could be read without the very first two books preceding it. Excellent horror book. Almost perfect.
