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!

Harry Keogh, the man who
could talk to the dead, spent most of his life defending mankind
from deadly alien vampires. But Harry was corrupted by the very
evil he battled. Losing the fight to save his soul, and believing
he had destroyed all the vampires, Harry sacrificed himself to protect
Earth and the Vampire world.
Harry Keogh died too soon.
In the hidden caverns on the vampire world, isolated from humankind
for centuries, vampires thrived. Unclean science fed their warped
appetites. Now, as they swept across the defenseless world, they
found easy prey among the gypsies who had been Harry's friends
and allies. Once sturdy fighters, the Travelers had grown soft
during the decades of peace.
The gypsies have but one
hope: the twin sons of Harry Keogh. When a vampire raid destroys
their home and separates the young men, Nathan and Nestor begin
perilous journeys across their world, one searching for his missing
brother and his lost love, the other, amnesiac, seeking his very
identity.
