Product Description

Book Description

THE HORROR FROM BEYOND

An invasion from an alien dimension! That would be horror enough in itself: the thought of monstrous beings stalking the Earth. But how much more nightmarish if the invaders were each and every one - VAMPIRES! Searching the infinite parallel time-streams of the metaphysical MÖbius Continuum for his long-lost wife and son, the Necroscope Harry Keogh discovers that Soviet scientists have accidentally opened a portal to mankind's worst nightmares. The lethal terror of Chernobyl is a mere bad dream by comparison. THE SOURCE of all Dark Legends can now be reached by any who dare to pass through the Gate. And by some who do not dare - but who have no choice … Necroscope III: The Source carries the story begun in Necroscope and continued in Necroscope II: Wamphyri! on into terrifying new dimensions of other-worldly horror and carnage. Here is your ticket to Hell. But be warned: it's a one-way ticket…

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the first three, Jun 8 2002

By	Joe Horn "cookingquest" (reno, nv) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: THE SOURCE - NECROSCOPE III (Mass Market Paperback)

This book has it all. The KGB, Ebranch, Keogh jr and sr and many bad guys. I would say this one has been the most interesting. The land were the vampires come from was amazing. I wish there was more about the vampires homeland though. The book could have been another 200 pages without being boring. I love to get to explore new lands.

If you liked the first two, you'll love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars visually gripping, Jan 10 2002

By	dario maragni (pa, usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: THE SOURCE - NECROSCOPE III (Mass Market Paperback)

Although I thought that necroscope 1 couldn't be equalled; the source dominates where wamphyri came up short. The descriptions of the warriors and the aeries, as well as the alternate world, were nothing but terrifying curiosities. With a touch of quantum physics and sheer horror; Mr. Lumley combines interesting scientific theories with monsters that seem to stay with you even after the book is put down. I really liked the way he added a more human and personal feel to the wamphyri hosts. The flirtatious Jazz and his interest in Zek is also a great addition to the story and keeps it moving even during the otherwise transitional and seemingly slow-moving stages in the book. I was actually taken by suprise with this book because I thought that for sure necroscope should have stayed a one book creation. I thought my theory was correct with my dissapointment in part 2. But Mr. Lumley did what all great saga writers do: instead of taking a story that seems to have used up its creative limitations and carrying it on like a soap opera(R. Jordan, unfortunately);he built on it and formed a whole new landscape of ideas to read about. Especially when it comes to Harry sr. metamorphisies throughout each book. He has been through so much and has taken a couple of forms through his journies that he has an almost detatched and alienated relationship with his former love and with most of the living for that matter. I could feel his loneliness when he saw Brenda for the first time in eight years and he couldn't even bear to look at her. Harry will always be moving on and changing in the eyes of the living, but he will always be static, ubiquitous, respected and loved in the eyes of the dead!

3.0 out of 5 stars Left a little to be desired..., Dec 30 2000

By	"jlmillr22" (Champaign, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Necroscope III: The Source (Hardcover)

I am a huge fan of the first two books in the series, and I was really expecting the same kind of intensity that books one and two had. Most of the story takes place on another planet in another dimension, and I didn't like it as much as the previous two books where everything occured in our world.

My final recommendation: Read it only after the first two books in the series. The fourth book is definitely worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3rd in the series that is one of the all-time best ever!
This installment is one of the best horror/sci-fi/fantasy series that is in existence today. The writing is some of the best - fast-paced and frightingly real-like. Read more
