I have not read the entire book yet, but I am enjoying it so far. I just wanted to say that I am kind of glad it is not part of a series. While I am enjoying it very much, I do miss the Wampyri.

Do not say another word about the content Scorp, some of us haven't received ours yet!!

I would not give anything away. I only said what I thought everyone already knew. It can certainly be read on any description of the book. Anyway I have not read the entire book so I do not know anything for certain.

this is like to be a spoiler forum now... it says as much on the way in... we can't stop people discussing Silver...

 

spoilers due spoilers due

I shall not visit this forum until i have read my copy of The Touch. Sound advise i think.

did anyone see this review by June at publishers weekly via amazon?

Did she even read the book?

What a frigging fruit, did I miss the part where Harry had his last name changed to Keough? And how did Lumley write Deadspeak (Necroscope IV) in 2001 when he was writing the E-Branch series then? And did I miss the part in Touch where L said Three was a female wolf, and that Scott was dalling her along with Shania?

 

Hollyfuckingbatnuts, Batman.

Obviously that person was on something or never read the book. That is just terrible all the mistakes in it.

As a moderator I was initially inclined to chastise you for your pottie-mouth, Mr. Stone, and remind you how we (as good, rule-reading posters) try to tone down our natural sickmouth tendancies here at BL.com at the behest of its namesake. We don't want to seem like a bunch of empty-headed foul-mouths...

 

But looking at the context in which the explitive was used I cannot bring myself to fulfill the obligation because you're 100% correct...that is fucking ridiculous!

 

I just finished "The Touch"...........as usual, read it like a bat outta hell and went thru the book in 2 days. Now all I want is more! I'll just have to re-visit the series from the beginning..........and become inthralled again!

Iloved it, Ads loved it, my mum loved it, well done Brian, brillant book.

am soooooooooooo jealous!!!!!! its not fair boo hoo im going to bed!

Nearly finished it!! Bloody brilliant. AUSGEZEICHNET Brian!! (Night Joeann, ha ha).

I got it last week for my birthday I got it in the Ottakars in Torquay and ITS SIGNED BY MR. LUMLEY HIMSELF!!! How chuffed am I? Only slighty

I got it a couple of days ago but I'd already started the series from the beginning again so I'm leaving it until I've read the lot in order. Only another 3,750,000 words to go

3,750,000 words left? Do you have an anorak?

it was a guesstimate Chris lol even I'm not that sad

then again :eek: maybe I am

OOOhhhh yesh

 

Finished it today, fantastic work Brian! And, as the BeeGees put it... "you win again"

 

I can't decide if this would have worked better as an 'E-Branch' book as opposed to a 'Necroscope' one, for reasons that I can't go into without getting spoilery. Anyhow, I have belted through it and those thoughts may change after I've re-read it.

 

Still gets 9/10 though

 

Edit: Got mine off of Amazon btw, it never ceases to amaze me that Brian's newer work takes an age to find it's way to shops in the UK. When I started out reading his work, every bookshop I used to go in had a reasonable selection. There's still copies of some of the Necroscope books in larger Waterstones, but that's not a lot of use for established readers. Better than nowt I suppose though...

J & P, far from being told I point a finger in accusatory stylie (except in Donald Sutherland way at the end of The Body Snatchers, heh heh heh), I kinda guessed it was a guesstimate!!

I would have to agree with you, but here in the US we never had any 'E-Branch' books as they all had the title of 'Necroscope'. So here it really is not an issue.

how come ottakers in torquay have got them but up here they dont even know it excists! aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggg!

They should be able to order it in Joeann otherwise Amazon is a good bet as they will already have them in stock.

well aparently they dont so its gonna cost me 25 quid just to ship it from the us! aaarrrrrrrrggggggggggg again! (i'm tearing my hair out!)
