To test of the power of God, an insane triad of malevolent aliens
decides to become so evil that God himself will have to stop them.
They have already destroyed their homeworld, an entire solar system,
and most of their own race. Their next target: Earth!
In addition to advanced science mankind can only dream of, the
Mordri Three have the unique ability to forever alter skin, bone,
and muscle with a simple touch. Once this powerful touch was used
only for healing, but the Mordri Three use it as a weapon, literally
turning people inside out, mutating them in front of their horrified
loved ones, or seeding them with cancer.
Scott
St. John is mourning the painful death of his beloved wife when
he is struck by a golden arrow of light—a fragment of the
soul of Harry Keogh, the original Necroscope—and gains powers
he does not understand. Soon after, a mysterious, beautiful woman
begins appearing everywhere he goes. She warns him to keep silent—about
what, he does not know—and keeps trying to tell him something
critically important, but each time, she vanishes before she can
fully explain. And Scott begins to dream of a very unusual Wolf,
who begs Scott—in human speech—to rescue him before
the hunters come.
A fledgling Necroscope, a telepathic Wolf, a beautiful woman from
beyond the stars, the ghost of Harry Keogh, the best of E-Branch’s
psychic fighting forces, and a dead girl who is not yet ready to
seek her just reward must defeat three impossibly strong, psychically
gifted monsters whose touch literally melts flesh from bone.
