Necroscope IV: Deadspeak

De: Brian Lumley

Narrado por: Michael Troughton

Brian Lumley's Necroscope novels are one of the horror genre's most towering achievements. They chronicle the adventures of Necroscope Harry Keogh, his successor, Jake Cutter, and the psychically gifted agents of E-Branch, Britain's super-secret spy organization, and their battles against the malevolent, shape-shifting Wamphyri and their spawn. Their exploits have spanned two worlds, 13 novels, and an infinity of time. The Necroscope novels have sold more than two million copies in English alone.

Harry Keogh has triumphed over much adversity in his life, from the death of his mother and the discovery of his amazing powers - to talk to the dead and to travel instantaneously to any place via the Möbius Continuum - to the fallout from his war against the vampires. He lost his body, though not his life; his wife and infant son disappeared without a trace; and he had to kill a woman he had come to love. What should have been a joyful reunion with his son was tinged with horror when Harry realized that his boy - now a man-was half - Necroscope and half-vampire, and thus a deadly double threat to all mankind. Father faced son in a terrible battle, and when it was over, Harry awoke safe in his own bed, at home...but his Necroscope powers were gone, locked away in the depths of his mind!

Now, a new evil rears its head in the Balkan Mountains. Janos Ferenczy, master vampire and black magician, has risen from an ages-long sleep. As the first step in his plans of conquest, he conjures dead men and women into a perverse semblance of life and subjects them to fiendish tortures. But the shrieks of the dead barely begin to satisfy Janos's bloodlusts as he prepares an army of undead warriors to conquer the world.

The dead try desperately to attract the Necroscope's attention, but Harry Keogh is deaf to their pleas and their screams. As Harry searches for a cure, he learns that to save mankind he must ally himself with the crafty father of vampires, the infamous Faethor Ferenczy. Centuries dead, Faethor lies in his grave and schemes. He will help Harry defeat Janos - but his price will be very high indeed!

4.5 stars great book

Michael Troughton did an okay job as narrator see if you can get James Langton back for fifth book
looking forward to deadspawn keep bringing out these books and i'll keep buying

fun

I really enjoyed the story, wish the narrator with the same as the first three books

Necroscope series is awesome

Having read the books, I wasn't a fan of this narrator, but the story is 5 stars

Mispronounced easy words

Whomever read the first 3 books did a fantastic job. This performer often mispronounced easy words and the special voice effects took me right out of the story.

Great Story -BUT

i love the necroscope books, and I've loved listening to them. I was nervous about the new narrator, and for a while I was satisfied with his performance, until i heard him pronounce 'vamphyrii'. Every time he said it I wanted to scream.

A stepping stone to stronger story lines

I loved this series when I read them in my youth and am now enjoying revisiting them thanks to Audible. This is not the best story in the series, but is an essential stepping stone to better and darker things.

Enjoyed the story. Tough beginning.

I've listened to the previous Necroscope novels on Audible and the change in narration (new narrator and new effects) was very difficult to get through. Almost stopped altogether but glad I didn't. Last 2/3rd of the book, I didn't even notice and enjoyed the book very much.

Woe

very kool. I would love to see this in a movie production. maybe who knows.

Keep them coming

Another great addition to my audible library. LOVE these books. They are my all time favorites.
Keep them coming.

Great Story

Definitely a great series. Would suggest this to horror and vampire lovers. Older series but a hidden gem. Glad I stumbled in to it.
