Fantastic narration & story as always

Brian Lumley always fulfils the thirst for a quality story to dive into, Lumley & Saxon a great team, the story & narration match each other in pace, tone and drama. The suspense, horror, tenseness and a new folklore to boot all combine with the Lumley style and Saxons character acting voice. If your viewing this book then you must be a Necroscope veteran so not much to say as you will have the knowledge, if not then it’s vital you start at the first book, your in for a treat.
As Always I’ve heard two narrators that bring Lumleys work to the ears from the other world of starside and our world invaded by those horrors, brings with subtlety and impact those worlds to life. I can’t imagine any others for the voice of these books, as I turn out the light and close my eyes it’s a delight to hear these stories drift across the night, only interrupted by an occasional owl in the bristling trees and rustling leaves. What a blessing this team is, a world base of avid readers and listeners will agree with my words, we never want this to end, if only the team can keep going for an eternity. If only there was a way they could do this, hhhm, it’s only a story.
I focused mainly on the quality of the narrator as by now you will now the stories but those new to Lumley can read reviews on the greatness of the mythology but I have found that the flooding of the audiobook by audible has meant there’s very few quality narrations, very few quality books that are matched with a good voice. So the narration is at this stage important, if it’s your first time with Lumley you will be pleased and dragged in to the pleasurable nightmare by a consistent reader who shows he loves the stories just as much as we do. Blessings to Lumley, Saxon and all Necroscope fans. D 🙏🏼

From strength to strength.

Initially I'd wondered how Lumley would maintain interest in a Necroscope story without Harry Keogh at it's centre. But the answer is a simple one: at this point we're more than ten books in and there's more than enough lore and richness in the world to sit in pretty much any part of it and have something enjoyable and entertaining happen. Lumley clearly loves these characters, he loves being in this world and enriching it. And that's what he does.

I like the idea of having a more conflicted and less naturally virtuous person in the role of Necroscope and I'm enjoying watching how the evolving E Branch team respond to him and focus on working together in the face of the vampire threat. Lumley's mythos continues to spawn memorable and unique vampire characters that you want to follow and he continues to put them in grounded believable situations to great effect.

Joshua Saxon continues to cement his place as The Voice Of Lumley, This is the best match of author and narrator since Stephen King was narrated by Stephen King and Saxon does his usual sterling job.

All in all I'd recommend this heartily to any fan of the series. Lumley's authorial voice and love of his subject matter never diminish or become watered down. It's quite something to be able to say that upon arriving at book 11 (12?) of an ongoing series.

Another Brilliant Audiobook in The Necroscope Series

Brian Lumley brings us another excellent part of the Necroscope story.

In this episode we are introduced to some new characters along with old favourites.

Once again the story is bought to life by the excellent narration of Joshua Saxon.

I can’t wait for the next instalment.

Lumley & Saxon Perfectly Combine Once Again

The epic Necroscope saga continues. Brian Lumley is one again at the top of his game. Invaders features lots of elements from the original five books mixed with the fantasy horror of the Vampire World trilogy. There really isn't a weak book in this series.
Joshua Saxon once again takes the art of storytelling to a whole new level of excellence. He is by far my favourite audiobook narrator. His performances are always pitch perfect. Like all of his previous work, I know this is an audiobook I will revisit in the future.
Another epic presentation from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.
