THE NECROSCOPE IS DEAD!

In the beginning, on Starside, Harry Keogh was The Source. Ultimately, he would also be the Doombringer - to the Old Wamphyri. But death is not the end: not for Harry, nor for the vampires whose tenacity is legendary.

The prime maxim of the Necroscope was always this: 'What will be, has been...' But who may read the future with impunity? No man? Who is there now to talk with the Teeming Dead and recover the long-lost secrets of the tomb? With the Necroscope gone, who left to oppose the return of the Wamphyri?

On Sunside dwells a woman with a secret. Nana Kiklu, Szgany widow, is the mother of twin sons - and their father is Harry Keogh! In their hands lies the terrifying future of the Vampire World - and maybe of our own planet, too...

Long Live the Necroscope!

NATHAN IS THE NEW NECROSCOPE

But on the Vampire World the dead won't talk to him. And on the world of men beyond the Hell-lands Gate, there are even worse terrors than the vampires on Starside. Yet that is Nathan's lot: to venture into the world of his father - Earth, there to seek the source of Harry Keogh's awesome talents with which to return to Sunside/Starside, defeat the Wamphyri, and destroy - The Last Aerie!

Nathan is not alone; Ben Trask an the espers of E-Branch will befriend him even as they befriended his father twenty years ago. But against natural and supernatural forces alike, will even their metaphysical skills suffice to send him home again? And if they do, what then? For in Starside a new vampire walks the night: Lord Nestor Lichloathe of the Wamphyri...

Nathan's Brother!

IN THE VAMPIRE WORLD...

Two monstrous armies stand opposed: Vormulac Unsleep's undead legions out of Turgosheim, and Wratha the Risen's Renegades, masters of the last great aerie of the Wamphyri. The spoils of war will be revenge, territory, and human flesh! And blood, of course - the sweet blood of Sunside's Szgany. For the blood is the life, and when life or land are threatened there's only one course of action for a vampire: battle to the death!

Trapped in the middle: Nathan Keogh, Necroscope. And the espers of Earth's E-Branch, Trask and Zek, Goodly and Chung: Guardians of the Gate against a vampire invasion of Earth! The Necroscope holds the keys; he is the only one who can close the Gates to end the crimson carnage of the Bloodwars!

But the past holds many a secret, and the future was ever a devious thing!
