( ) Brian lumley continues his epic Necroscope adventure, with this 9th book in the series that focuses on "Lost Years" or years that were overlooked in the main story found in the previous books. Unfortunately if you have read the books prior to this one, as I have ; then you may find that this book spends too much time dwelling on Harry's search for his missing loved ones which we already know the outcome of, rather than the new storyline that Lumley is trying to introduce. This book is more successful as a stand alone volume read by someone ignorant of the first 8 books. Once the book starts focusing more on the new storyline and really gets going, then you are hit with a sudden cliffhanger. So apparently the next book is going to be a real humdinger! I hope. The Lost Years (book one) seems very familiar, with an age-old wamphyri on the return with its oh-so-slow build-up as the vampiric influence builds throughout the book. The new factor here is the addition of a werewolf conflict, all tied in to the same mythos. Although all the key players are in effect from the Necroscope series, this volume seems to be more of a rehash of the early books and is to verbose to hold interest for long. The best chapter for tension and intrigue is the epilogue! The book is a decent set-up for what is to follow however as a standalone entry it could have been so much better. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Brian Lumley, international bestselling author of the Necroscope and Vampire World series, continues Harry Keogh's search for his lost wife and child. The Lost Years fits between Wamphyri! and The Source in the Necroscope sequence. No library descriptions found. |
