I can't decide, I can't chose between necroscope and deadspeak. :confused:

Heh heh, I was going to reply to this, but reading back, I see I already have! Thanks Lokust for reviving this topic!

 

My choice still stands, Vamphyri is my ultimate favourite!

Hard to choose, but would have to go with The Source... 'cos it was the pivotel story in the whole series - going in depth into the history of the Wamphyri and the Vampire World. A Classic

I am going to have to say Bloodwars. Love all the lords and ladies and all the fighting...

 

But I do also have a lot of sentimental value attached to The Source as I found it at a used book sale and that was the first of Mr. Lumleys books I read. Hooked me for good.

I did read Necroscope in Order, and like DC agree that if the first wasn't up to it I would of read no further. But I did, and scoured the shelves for the next installment, then, Bang! the Source. Wow!!! What a concept. I'd always loved Lord of the Rings when the Nazgul were around and here was a book full of vampire nazgul. That's where the camparisons stopped, as these weren't just wraith things but fully fleshed beings, with individual characters. Was it my favourite Necroscope though?

 

Deadspawn was my favourite. Harry although vampire seemed much more vulnerable in this book. It engaged me emotionally much more. I couldn't wait for Harry the vampire to face the Necromancer, Johnny Found. He has been the most evil character in the whole series. it's Deadspawn for me.

I'm torn, Necroscope I loved because it takes you through the maturation of the phenom, Harry. However, The Source did such a great job of introducing the Vampire World, it instantly jumps to the top. So my decision is ......

The Source!

 

By the way, it's my first post and I am excited to be here.

can I change my mind please?

Sure tops...........

Here.. Take mine

*GRIN*

 

thought I might change to The Lost Years this week... they're meaningful to me for more than just the story ANd they are great. Radu is a fine Wamphyri, and one of the most and least evil at the same time... confused? I am!

Hummmm.....this is such a hard question!

But here we go...My fav book of Necroscope would prob be 'The Source' it was a totally new thing that I hadnt expect....being introduced to the world of Sunside/Starside along with all new characters, good and bad! That book is deff a spark in the works of the books anyway!

 

BUT....ive just finished re-reading the Vampire world books...and WOW!!!!! I forgot how brill they all are...so for me, its a close one between 'The Source' and the final book in the vampire world 'Blood Wars' I cant decide! they're all great!

 

One word : breathtaking.

I have not read the Lost Years as yet.... I cant seem to find the first book anywhere in the shops, i'll just have to check out the internet eh?

yeah you should try amazon I find it great for such things... but I go off topic... I think there's a Lumley book support thread somewhere round here... check the "Other Novels / Short Stories " forum for that.

 

HTH

 

TOps

Hey - cheers Tops

I think I've just melted my brain trying to do this! I choose one, the think of another and then another! I'm going to go with my first instinct and say The Last Aerie, although I agree with every choice everyone else has made so far!

 

I think it was the one that I found the most difficult to put down (I found them all difficult to put down) because you got the family thing and both worlds going on at the same time, there was just so much going on but it wasn't confusing.

I didn't reply to this topic when it was first on, as I needed to think about this one...

 

I think it's Deadspawn that's mine. I just love it when Harry turns into a Wamphyri, and the ending and the fact you get to read about sunside/starside and Earth all in one book.

 

I think my second choices were The Source and The last Aerie, maybe even the lost year books and the final ever Necroscope book Avengers (or maybe not the final ever???)

 

Brain Melt...

 

But yeah... DeadSpawn, that's the one I'm going for as the number 1!

Necroscope, because it's the first and in my opinion the best.

...the the Necroscope started it all for me and introduced me to Brian's work and the world of Harry and the Wamphiri, i have to say out of all of them, the Source is my favourite - really brings it 'round full circle for me.

the source, it was my first then i was hooked

Of the 13...I would have to say....

 

:confused: :confused: :confused:

 

"NECROSCOPE"

As I said in favorite character's. Best book is Lost Year's Volume 2. Because of all the book in necro saga, Radu had the best kill.. Breaking all your bones, then getting tossed into 600 year old piss. Now that is just wrong, but it's a best part of all the books. If I had to choose a second, I'd have to say Dragonasi(Sorry, it's 4am here, and my daughter is asleep, I can't go looking for my books to find proper spelling right now). His kill at begin of Book 1 is second, because it's very detailed, make it seem like you where the one doing the cutting. and not just another reader..

 

That's the main reason I like Brian Lumley over ann rice any day. Ann rice doesn't get me into the book like Lumley does.

Hello, this is my first post.

... (pressed button by mistake) . I have read the first 8, I will say Necroscope because the end gave me a particularly massive buzz that made me start the second one straight away (I had it on the shelf) - I wanted to read them all - this feeling has continued.

And after reading the 3 awesome vampire world books and thinking back to Necroscope, it seems far away, dark and special!

DEADSPAWN for me. Why? Cuz I'm a bit strange and like to see my fave heroes turn into anti-heroes (which Harry almost did). Also loved the final battle to bits.

The Source.........I would have to say. Mostly because after I had already become dazzled by the story of the Necroscope & the Whamphyri, it introduced a world of Whamphyri. And that blew me away.

Out of all thirteen what was my favorite?

 

I have to go with Blood Brothers because it was the start of my love with Nathan and went back to Starside/Sunside which I absolutely love.

 

Though now I'm having second thoughts as The Source is hitting me over the head. Hmm ...
