Deadspawn

Necroscope #5

by Brian Lumley

There's a maniacal murderer on the loose, brutally slaughtering young women with a ferocity that rivals that of vampires Harry Koegh has spent his life combatting. The Necroscope's been asked to solve the crimes...asked by the dead spirits of the madman's victims.

Harry cannot turn down a request from the dead...even if it costs him his soul. In the climactic battle with the vampires, mankind prevailed and purged the vampires from earth--thanks to Harry, his team of psychically-gifted spies, and Faethor Ferenczy, long-dead 'father' of the world's vampires, who betrayed his own kind.

But Harry's alliance with Faethor has a terrible cost--Harry's very humanity is under attack from the vampire evil coiled in his mind!

Reviews

[Lukáš Konečný]

Příběh začíná brutálním zmasakrováním mladé ženy, vykonaném se zběsilostí hodnou upírů, jejichž vyhlazování zasvětil Harry Keogh svůj život.
Nekroskop je požádán, aby případ vyřešil... Požádán mrtvými oběťmi bestiálního vraha. Harry nedokáže žádost mrtvých odmítnout, i kdyby ho to mělo stát duši.
V odvěké bitvě s upíry lidstvo konečně vítězí a smete upíry z povrchu Země - díky Harrymu, jeho týmu mentálně nadaných špionů a Faethoru Ferenczymu, dávno mrtvému "otci" pozemských upírů, který zradil svůj vlastní druh. Ale Harryho spojenectví s Faethorem si vyžádá hrůznou daň - samo Harryho lidství je napadeno upířím zlem, usídleným v jeho mysli...
