I loved the first two Necroscope series... and the third series was a big sign of fatigue on Lumley's part... not bad, but nothing special like the first two.

This book...

Did not suck, but was far from worth it. Nothing new was presented, the story was acceptable but seemed forced, and the ending was a GIANT cop-out. Plus, having the evil villians be motivated by *horrors* atheism was as about as thrilling as watching golf. I am sorry, but religious people have committed more atrocities and evil in the name of their gods than any atheist ever. But that is another argument... let's just say I had a hard time buying this motivation.

Probably the best thing about the book was the fact that there were no vampires in it, which was definitely new for the series. But when the villians have much of the same powers, it makes me think this was a rework of an older, rejected story in some parts.

Anyway, I think I am done with any new Necroscope books. They will never match the original series and the second series set in the vampire world. So why bother torturing myself reading them?
