In this second book of the Lost Years series of Necroscope (that takes place between books 2 and 3 of the regular series) the story kicks into high gear. An evil vampire/werewolf that has been struck with the plague and hibernating for the last 600 years, senses that the necroscope could be his ticket to freedom in a new body and sends his minions to prepare him for possession. But this isn't Harry Keogh's only problem. He has been brainwashed by his own allies and vampires and can barely function. On top of this, an ancient vampire Drakul plots nuclear war from his haven in Tibet and a group of Ferenczy vampires plot to destroy the vampire that has it's hooks in Harry. Can he somehow manage to survive all of these plots without the use of his powers and full mental capabilities? Perhaps...with the help of his friends in the deadlands that protect him.

This is a great read for fans of the series. You really should read the other books that came before this one, since you'll probably be quickly lost without it. But if you have read them, you won't be disappointed by this story within the story. Lumley still has plenty of drama, esoteric science and magic, and horrible gore dripping from the pages.
