Product Description:
A new vampire stalks the earth, and only Harry Keogh can defeat him!
The silence of the grave is not silent at all. In their millions, the dead are screaming...but no one can hear them!
Atop a perilous cliff, deep in the Balkan mountains, rises the castle of the Ferenczy. Once it was a stronghold of the Vamphyri...and now it will be so again, for Janos Ferenczy, vampire and grey magician, has risen from his ages-long sleep. Powerful and evil, Janos conjures dead men and women into a semblance of life and subjects them to fiendish tortures.
But the shrieks of the dead do not satisfy Janos's lust for blood-- for that he needs living humans. His terrifying armies of the risen dead will soon overwhelm a helpless, defenseless mankind....
Helpless and defenseless because a terrible battle against the vampires has destroyed Harry Keogh's deadspeak, leaving the Necroscope deaf to the teeming dead...and to their warnings of Janos's reign of terror.
To save the world, Harry must join forces and link minds with the most powerful, and deadliest, vampire of all!

I bought this series before, many years ago, but lost the books. After re-purchasing the books and reading, Brian Lumly needs to find a way to bring this to the big screen!
It's that good!

What made this story such a good one is that the main character, Harry, finally meets a true challenge. Throughout the series he's attained a level of power that just isn't easily matched. In this story, Harry has lost his ability to speak to the dead and has become innumerate. Unable to communicate with the dead or travel the Mobius he finds himself almost normal and very vulnerable when an vampire rises.
Good characters with real vulnerability make great characters and this story doesn't disappoint. Compramises are made that Harry will have to live with later. While I really wanted to the series to pick up from the alternate world in The Source, I did enjoy the story laid out here.
I really feel that this is the second best in the series, the best being The Source.

Harry Keogh's son on Starside has cut him off from his Necroscope powers, and his Mobius Continuum powers. He must get back very first one, then the other, in order to stop a vampire, hundreds of years old, from killing even more of E-Branch than he already has.
Harry's problem is so bad, Mobius even has to get Pythagoras to help!
Some pretty funky Cthulhoid deinvocations in the final confrontation, as Harry, unable to teleport, has to go in via Greece and Romania the hard way.

Before this novel, the Necroscope books were billed as a trilogy, well, Brian Lumley should have stuck with that plan. BL goes to the well again with book four.
This time, Harry Keogh has lost his ability to use the Mobius continuum. Faethor Ferenczy's other son, Janos has arisen to give Harry grief. It's the same Wamphyri story all over again. It even reads as though Lumley is tired of the formula.
With so much going for the series, its difficult to understand why BL doesn't break new ground with Keogh and the E-Branch. There are so many directions he could go that have nothing to do with vampires. With everything Ferenczy, the series has become too incestuous to continue reading.
Can't recommend this one. This is the low point in the series.
