Product Description:
Three great vampires--two Lords and a Lady--arrive on an unsuspecting Earth that teems with defenseless humans, easy prey for the marauding vampires. But humanity has defenders. Though the necroscope is gone, the psychically gifted men and women of E-Branch move swiftly against the vampire infestation.
Jake Cutter is running for his life through the streets of Turin when he vanishes, appearing moments later inside the triply locked 'Harry's room' in E-Branch's London HQ. Jake's dreams are very strange, filled with the voices of the dead--the Great majority, the Necroscope, Harry Keogh, even a dead vampire. He hears them all, but he doesn't truly understand.
If Jake is the new Necroscope, he has to learn--fast!--how to control his powers and speak to the dead. E-Branch, with the reluctant Jake along for the ride, is about to go head-to-head with Malinari the Mind, a vampire Lord who psychic abilities are second to none.
But the dead don't trust Jake, not like they trusted Harry. Jake's got personal revenge on his mind, and he's spending too much time talking that dead vampire. He's got to start thinking about the future--or he won't have one!

The book, Necroscope Defilers, is about three great vampire lords. This story takes place in Australia. It's appealing to the reader's eye because of all the detail Brain Lumely puts into the characters names and their past profiles. Also the appeal to the eye is due to the detail he puts into all the fight scenes, and the sex scenes. The author knows how to catch the audience imagination by the use of the big words that he incorporates into his storys.
Brain Lumelys' books have been said to rival Anne Rice's books about the vampire Lestat. His use of ingenious Latin words that he puts into the story is amazing. The Characters he has come up with must have taken a lot of imagination. All his books in some way connect with the very very first book. Because of this his books become more interesting in each sequel of his novels. In each of his books the reader gets to see new powers and new characters; along with the new powers that these knew characters he brings to this story of vampires and psychics. In each book has a new setting and a new plot line along with the new characters. I would recommend this book to any one who is into science fiction and vampires

I think that this book is good as relative to the series. I started thinking about series of books and the average consumer. Maybe it is dragging on a little far. I really enjoy vampire books and good heroes. This book has both these qualities. If you wanted to start with this book DON'T!! Start at book #1: Necroscope.

This book does a great job bringing in new Lumley readers into the series without requiring them to know anything about the books that came before it. Unfortunately for avid Lumley readers, it is a slow read. The book spends a little too much time going over past events, and thus doesn't move forward until "Defilers". It was for this reason alone that I bumped my rating down to 4 stars.

This was yet another great book by Lumley. I have yet to read Invaders and am disappointed that this series may be the last series in Lumley's Necroscope series. I have been reading Lumley's books for about seven or eight years now. Which have included: Psychomech series, Necroscope series, Vampire world series, Lost Years series, Dreamland series, House of Doors series, and the short story collection book: Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi. I am not bragging but am giving an idea of what I think about Lumley. I've enjoyed all his books including Invaders. Lumley has such an imagination and what seems like an endless supply of information which when put together make a his story seem real. In Invaders, Lumley creates a new ghastly trio of vampire masters (or Whampiri). The magnificent Molinari the Mind, the oh so mesmerizing Lady Vavara, and the mysterious Schwart. Feared and loathed by their own kind on the vampire world Sunside/Starside they now escaped their own world to bring havoc on ours. Only the combined powers of E-branch and the new necroscope Jake Cutter can stop them. If you are a Necroscope maniac I highly recommend this book to add to your collection.

I was delighted to read Lumley's newest addition to the fantasy/horror Necroscope world started with Harry Keogh! I was initially suspicious of a Necroscope book without Harry but Jake and both the new and old characters were intriguing. Having read all of Lumley's books, I always liked the original Necroscope books for their depth and detail. . .something I found lacking somewhat in Necroscope: Invaders. . .like not fully fleshed out (no pun intended). However, I did just order the subsequent in the series because no true Necroscope Lumley fan can ever resist that subsequent book!
