From Publishers Weekly

Vast in scope and overripe with extraordinary characters and incidents, Lumleys proliferating Necroscope saga almost mandates a book-length reference companion. This new novel, the 11th in the series (after Resurgence, 1996) and the first in an offshoot trilogy, carries on the tradition in fine form, but also shows the problems inherent in keeping the increasingly byzantine intrigues of these horror/espionage hybrids accessible to new readers. During an explosive start, in which psychic agents of the hard-working E- (short for ESP) Branch smoke out a nest of vampires in the Australian desert, the novel introduces Jake Cutter, another of Lumleys gutsy populist heroes. Jake has been delivered to the paranormal intelligence unit by the ghost of Harry Keogh, the original Necroscope, who foresees a future clash between Jake and a vampire trio wreaking havoc on Earth. Harrys discorporate consciousness takes up residence in Jakes mind, but Jake is totally ignorant of the vampire invaders from the alternate universe of Sunside/Starside and the long-running war that left Harry (and, by proxy, Jake) infected with their taint. This necessitates a lengthy and tedious history of events from the preceding novels, recounted to Jake by both mortals and monsters in multiple chapters of straight exposition. Granted, Lumleys characters are a lively bunch, but none tell the story as excitingly as he does, and the result is not unlike sitting down at the dinner table with a hearty appetite and hearing about a sumptuous banquet someone else attended. A climactic encounter with the vampire Nephran Malinari in his aerie in the Australian mountains gets the action roaring again by the storys finale, and with luck heralds the end of the laborious updates.

From Booklist

Lumley continues his popular series of vampire thrillers with the first book in a prospective trilogy. Jake Cutter is in line to succeed the late Harry Keogh as the Necroscope, or leading finder-hunter of vampires. Jake has his own agenda, however, and a troubled personal history, which make E-Branch more than a trifle uncertain about taking him on, until it becomes clear that the most powerful of three Wamphyri newly loose on Earth has set up business in Australia and needs to be stopped--yesterday! Lumley has firmly staked out the territory of the vampire thriller, much as Anne Rice has that of vampire erotica, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro that of the vampire historical romance. This book is a good place to start Lumley's Necroscope saga. Oh, some of its most gripping sequences (e.g., the invasion of the three Wamphyri lords and the enslavement of Korath Mindthrall) are told indirectly, which somewhat diminishes their emotional impact, but the action climax is a corker.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Good Reading - if you are into the series, Juil 4 2001
Par jennydamoocher "jennydamoocher" (Louisville, KY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Nice Continuation, Mai 3 2001
Par Un client
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.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Another Great Book By a The Great Author, Oct. 2 2000
Par "mannye" (Glen Carbon, IL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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 have never read the Necroscope series. But I picked up Invaders, and after a slow start to read it, I was hooked! Lisez davantage
