Really about a three and half star book, but I rounded up because I liked it better then the second book in the trilogy. I was debating with myself whether I would even bother with this one, and Joe at Nightmare factory recommended I should, because "vampire planet". So I did. The ideas in this book are better than the execution. There are sections which drag, and it could have easily been edited down about 100 pages to make a much better, tighter plot. Lumley loves to use exclamation points! For mundane things! His characters are occasionally cardboard.
All that aside, the vampire planet is pretty awesome in a trashy pulp fiction way. The scenes of characters passing through the gates with the time dilation and various ways to fuck with each other during the transition was creative. The final battle against the vampires was nicely gory and exciting. I wasn't bored, and sometimes that is enough.
