Necroscope 4: Deadspeak

This book #4 of Necroscope is by far one of the best in the series of necroscope novels. Possitvely riveting from begining to end.Blazzing with electricity. The key vampire in this novel is unusually dark. Of course, there all Dark. This book was a fast read for me (someone who's not an avid reader).I blew through this novel. It was gluded to my hand. Anybody who likes thrill rides and horror movies is going to love this book. However; I do not reccomend you read it without reading the first four. you'll be completely lost! Trust me. Forget everything you thought you ever knew about vampires! Brian Lumley will set you striaght.When you finish this read,be sure to read all the rest!

WOW, that's all that I can say. What a great book this one turned out to be also. Lumley has me hooked with this series through and through. If anyone is looking for a great series, start with this one, but of course start with the first one "Necroscope" Well, I must go now to the store and buy the next. Adieu!

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.

This forth installment of the series was better than the third for sure, but Mr. Lumley is clearly running out of ideas. This book was drawn out for a final confrontation with yet another Vampire nemesis, yet the ending was clearly rushed. Readable and somewhat entertaining, but ultimately disappointing.

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.

FABULOUS SERIES CONTINUES WITH THIS INSTALLMENT.LUMLEY'S NECROSCOPE SERIES IS ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME VAMPIRE SERIES.LOTS OF ACTION,HORROR AND GREAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MAKE THIS ONE OF MY FAVES.I WOULD JUST LOVE TO SEE THIS PUT ON THE SCREEN WITHOUT SOMEONE MESSING IT UP.

I thought this book was very good...Every story Lumley has, brings you in and keeps you in his world of the Vamphyri... The story moves slow at times, but the action that comes keeps you reading long into the night!!!!

HARRY KEOGH, BURIED AT LAST IN NECROSCOPE-13, and at last a hardcover for NECROSCOPE-4. Skip an epitaph for the NECROSCOPE? A review of the entire series? I despair. But what fun it would be, to measure the attainment and valiant imagination of Lumley's mindwarping 6,500 pages of DEADSPEAK (13 doorstoppers nearing 500 pages each, double the length of IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME--and chipped out of a single block of electronic marble, Lumley's brain, in only eleven years!), an Ozymandian fantasy of towering heights that will lie on the lone and level sands of oblivion as an unwitting but cautionary megaloid obelisk for future fantasists set on shaping on paper their own features out of eternal darkness: Look, ye mighty electron wielders, upon my mighty metamorphic crossdimensional vampire epic and scotch all hope that you can build such gigasparks of visionary brainwash out of glowing dreamspeak! How droll the darkness already lapping at Lumley's creation, with the last trade paperback edition reprinted in perdurable hardcover, all thirteen blocks now to sit on shelves unread by future generations of Bloodfans as they move into the forthcoming novelties of compunov on screenread that will leave Necroscope flickering in the nether regions adjoining Sax Rohmer's once widely read British series The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu last seen glimmering under black waters off the Limehouse docks.

good reading
