Summary

Three great vampires - two Lords and a Lady - arrive on an unsuspecting Earth that teems with defenseless humans, easy prey for the marauding vampires. But humanity has defenders. Though the Necroscope is gone, the psychically gifted men and women of E-Branch move swiftly against the vampire infestation.

Jake Cutter is running for his life through the streets of Turin when he vanishes, appearing moments later inside the triply locked "Harry's room" in E-Branch's London HQ. Jake's dreams are very strange, filled with the voices of the dead - the Great majority, the Necroscope, Harry Keogh, even a dead vampire. He hears them all, but he doesn't truly understand.

If Jake is the new Necroscope, he has to learn - fast! - how to control his powers and speak to the dead. E-Branch, with the reluctant Jake along for the ride, is about to go head to head with Malinari the Mind, a vampire Lord who psychic abilities are second to none.

But the dead don't trust Jake, not like they trusted Harry. Jake's got personal revenge on his mind, and he's spending too much time talking that dead vampire. He's got to start thinking about the future - or he won't have one!

The epic Necroscope saga continues. Brian Lumley is one again at the top of his game. Invaders features lots of elements from the original five books mixed with the fantasy horror of the Vampire World trilogy. There really isn't a weak book in this series.
Joshua Saxon once again takes the art of storytelling to a whole new level of excellence. He is by far my favourite audiobook narrator. His performances are always pitch perfect. Like all of his previous work, I know this is an audiobook I will revisit in the future.
Another epic presentation from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.

Initially I'd wondered how Lumley would maintain interest in a Necroscope story without Harry Keogh at it's centre. But the answer is a simple one: at this point we're more than ten books in and there's more than enough lore and richness in the world to sit in pretty much any part of it and have something enjoyable and entertaining happen. Lumley clearly loves these characters, he loves being in this world and enriching it. And that's what he does.

I like the idea of having a more conflicted and less naturally virtuous person in the role of Necroscope and I'm enjoying watching how the evolving E Branch team respond to him and focus on working together in the face of the vampire threat. Lumley's mythos continues to spawn memorable and unique vampire characters that you want to follow and he continues to put them in grounded believable situations to great effect.

Joshua Saxon continues to cement his place as The Voice Of Lumley, This is the best match of author and narrator since Stephen King was narrated by Stephen King and Saxon does his usual sterling job.

All in all I'd recommend this heartily to any fan of the series. Lumley's authorial voice and love of his subject matter never diminish or become watered down. It's quite something to be able to say that upon arriving at book 11 (12?) of an ongoing series.



From strength to strength.
