were still playing their global game of “who has the biggest johnson” with one another, you have your typical collection cold war spy characters, except that most of the players belong to a specialized department and possess paranormal skills (telepathy, prognostication, telekinesis, etc.). The Source is the 3rd installment of the Necroscope series which is a unique blend of cold war spy thriller with a paranormal component and an excellent take on vampires (of the nasty, nasty "non emo" variety). Okay, I’ll stop for now, but I do have issues to deal with… Sorry, that got away from me, sort of LIKE LUMLEY’S STORY CONTINUALLY GETTING AWAY FROM HIM AND MEANDERING INTO FILLERVILLE). (DID YOU HEAR THAT LUMLEY?…BRIEF SUMMARY…OPPOSITE OF EPOCH-WINDED!!). Now, because of my respect for this series and Brian Lumley as an author, I am going to put the rage on simmer and begin by focusing on the good aspects of the story as well as provide a brief plot summary. (iii) loooooooooooooong-winded expositions leading to cries of “show don’t tell,” andĪll of the above turn this potential "it's amazing" read into a long game of “Where’s Waldo” that's made all the more frustrating by the fact that the good parts are really spectacular. (i) rehash and rehash and rehash of the first two books, The reason: there's a 250 to 300 page 5 star gem in here just begging on its paper knees to sparkle but it’s being rooster-blocked big time by another 250 pages of mind- anesthetizing: HEADS UP READERS: For a 3 star rating, this rant review contain's a higher concentration of I'm so pissed than you might expect. What good is the power to summon the dead in a country where nothing ever dies, where every man, woman, and child become half-dead servants of the Vamphyri? But his strongest psychic power will be useless there. He must carry the human-vampire war to the vampire's own lands. Harry has only one option-to strike first. When Jazz Simmons, a British agent sent to infiltrate the base, is captured by the KGB espionage squad and forced through the portal, his last message tells Harry Keogh, the Necroscope, that the vampires are preparing for a mass invasion. Soviet scientists and ESP-powered spies, in a secret military base, study the portal-and the powerfully evil creatures that emerge from it, intent on ravaging mankind. Russia's Ural Mountains hide a deadly secret: a supernatural portal to the country of the vampires.
The third book in the Necroscope series traces the battle between Harry Keogh and the horrifying Vamphyri on their home ground, an alien landscape of looming towers, impossible cliffs, and ravenous vampire-beasts.
