The Third book in the Necroscope series was rather interesting. While the simple premise of the story is vampires, Lumley's take on the subject is rather interesting.

Following the destruction of the Soviet E-Branch, the Russians have created another secret project. Projekt Perchorsk seems to be similar to the old project, but there is a dark secret. The British send a MI-6 field agent to check on the project. Jazz Simmons is captured and he finds out a horrible truth- the Russians have found a gateway to the world of the Wamphyri.

Eventually, Harry Keogh gets involved and the entire story shifts to this other world. The world is a strange one, divided between a Starside and Sunside. The Starside is ruled but a cabal of Wamphyri Lords. They routinely hunt the gypsies and fight each other for dominance.

In the midst of all of this, there is a mysterious Dweller who has motived yet to be understood. No more spoilers. This was a unique story. The Wamphyri world and the conjecture that our Earth's vampires and gypsies came from that world is also a different take on the subject.

This series has been a lot of fun. I love a good vampire story and a unique one is rare. Lumley's vision is unique and the story is better for it. I look forward to the next book in this series.
