From Publishers Weekly

After a three-book sojourn in the mythical "Vampire World" of The Last Aerie (1994), Lumley's epic Necroscope saga returns to contemporary Europe for this ripping yarn of espionage and occult intrigue set during the years separating the second (Vamphyri!) and third (The Source) novels of the projected nine-volume series. British intelligence agent Harry Keogh, who can converse telepathically with the dead, appears here, younger and less experienced than when last seen. He has just vanquished Soviet vampire nemesis Boris Dragosani and learned how to travel through space and time, but his problems are only beginning. His wife and infant son disappear. For different reasons, both his colleagues at British intelligence and new acquaintance Bonnie Jean ("B.J.") Mirlu have used posthypnotic suggestion to prevent him from fully exploiting his extrasensory powers. With his usual aplomb, Lumley whips potentially confusing story elements into a fleet supernatural thriller that successfully prepares the Necroscope saga for a shift from its outdated Cold War setting to the current European political climate. In a literary landscape overpopulated with sympathetic soul-searching members of the Undead, Lumley's Necroscope novels are refreshing reminders that sometimes a vampire is just a bloody entertaining monster.

From Booklist

The sixth volume of Lumley's vampire series, Necroscope, harks back to an earlier period in the life of Harry Keogh, who is the Necroscope. In it, Keogh is inexperienced, still on Earth, seeking his lost family, and caught in the murderous rivalry between two potent vampires. This set of ingredients produces a story that certainly succeeds at keeping the reader turning pages. Lumley hasn't quite dispensed with his tendency toward purple prose, however, and also, the book has the usual problem of the prequel--suspense that is undermined by the knowledge that the protagonist will survive, for his further adventures already exist. Yet wherever the other Necroscope yarns have been popular, this one will be, too. Roland Green

3.0étoiles sur 5 A sequel which was best left undone, Janv. 2 2003
This review is from: Necroscope: The Lost Years (Mass Market Paperback)
Brian Lumley's Necroscope books are certainly engrossing and very enjoyable to read. All the other books in the series, at least, apart from the two Lost Years novels. They look promising enough by the blurbs on the back: the Necroscope is caught up in a struggle between evil vampire lords. Now, given how cool Thibor Ferenczy was in the original, this sounded great. But it turns out to move incredibly slowly. The first part of this book is focused on an event that could have been condensed to a much smaller size and the book would have been better off. After that, it starts to get better, with three vampire clans all conspiring to kill each other off and take over the world, but then winds down to an incredibly slow pace, with little happening but talk of 'when I rise up from my eternal slumber' and 'when I've got enough demon-bats' and worst of all, 'when I feel like it' from the vampire lords, and with an extremely confusing series of events from Harry Keogh's point of view left me very disappointed after how much I enjoyed the other books in the series.

1.0étoiles sur 5 One of the worst books I've ever read, Avril 15 2002
Par R. Mark Munson "javelinco" (Beaverton, OR USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Necroscope: The Lost Years (Mass Market Paperback)
It may be that you have to read every other book in the series to enjoy this book, but if so, well, I can't help but say that seems ridiculous. The book was confusing, wandered over a large number of storylines incomprehensibly, and the writing was pedantic and heavy handed. I felt like I was reading a pulp novelist that was pretending to write a newspaper article.

I don't know what the other reviewers enjoyed so much about this book, but I felt that another viewpoint might be welcome, and perhaps necessary - after all, I bought this book because of the reviews, and it was a mistake.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Necroscope, Nov. 8 2000
Par Fadrah (Idaho, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Necroscope: The Lost Years (Mass Market Paperback)
The whole Necroscope series has kept me on the edge of my seat just waiting for the next book to be released. The first book will get you hooked. Brian Lumley has a way of combining history and mythology to get his own very unique version of the vampire world. I have become very attached to the main character Harry Keogh, his assosiation with the E-branch, and the many colorful charaters that Lumly has painted through his masterful creation of alternate reality.
