Vampire World III: Bloodwars (Necroscope #8)

Lumley expounds upon the vampire home world. Again, very nicely done.
Very good series! Imagine any knowledge that you needed at the ready for your asking. Enter Harry. Very well designed story, with a main character that is easily identified with, Harry Koegh.

Good book, neatly wraps up the trilogy. Sometimes it was a bit of a slog and the ending seemed a bit rushed. This exhaustive set could easily have been broken into five books rather than a trilogy. The story might have flowed a little better. The author seems very methodical in his approach to storytelling, even down to the length of the chapters. Throughout the trilogy, each chapter is roughly twenty pages in length, give or take a few pages. I plan to take a break from Lumley's world for a whi...more
