Product Description
Product Description
There's a maniacal murderer on the loose, brutally slaughtering young women with a ferocity that rivals that of vampires Harry Koegh has spent his life combatting. The Necroscope's been asked to solve the crimes...asked by the dead spirits of the madman's victims.Harry cannot turn down a request from the dead...even if it costs him his soul. In the climactic battle with the vampires, mankind prevailed and purged the vampires from earth--thanks to Harry, his team of psychically-gifted spies, and Faethor Ferenczy, long-dead 'father' of the world's vampires, who betrayed his own kind.But Harry's alliance with Faethor has a terrible cost--Harry's very humanity is under attack from the vampire evil coiled in his mind

As the Necroscope, Harry Keogh has the unique ability to speak with the dead. But now that he has become infected with vampirism, the dead shun him as they do all vampires. Most of his former friends at E-branch (short for ESPionage), sensing a change in Harry, regard him with suspicion. Nonetheless, he finds himself helping to track a bizarre killer, a sadist who tortures his victims not only before murdering them but, with his necromantic powers, even after they have died.
Harry knows that with the change in his nature E-branch will give him no peace in this world; he ultimately must retreat to the universe where vampires -- the Wamphyri -- originated. There he discovers a new romantic interest, the one Wamphyri Lady remaining in their traditional stronghold. The few other Wamphyri survivors of the war described in NECROSCOPE III: THE SOURCE have fled to the arctic wastes of their world. Wamphyri Lords Shaitan and Shaithis, however, are planning a comeback -- and Harry does not have resources to fight them as he has before.
DEADSPAWN has the densely plotted suspense and spy/counterspy tactics of previous Necroscope novels, and just when you think there can't be one more twist -- there is! Time comes full circle in a thought-provoking finale that makes Harry a figure of cosmological significance, at once an end and beginning to the world of Lumley's Wamphyri.

Easily the nost erotic of the books, it is simply another fantastic line of the Keogh famliy stories. Lumley's one upsmanship of the type of characters ( just when you thought that the could be nothing MORE EVIL!!!) continues to flow. Like all the prior books in this series, I can't wait for the next one....

Format:Paperback
A fitting crescendo for the series, this book ends what I consider to be the classic series of Necroscope books. It is filled with wonder, pathos, wickedness and twists that play on everything we've learned from the previous four.
The book should make you sad and thrilled in equal measures as it draws to a close.
Cannot give too detailed a reviews without spoiling things, but simply, if you enjoyed the original Necroscope book, read at least to this book and your time has been very well spent.
