One hundred and fifty years ago the world ended. Bombs fell, winter came, and the survivors fled underground in search of safety. Now they struggle to preserve what's left - sleeping by day, and battling fearsome vampiric fly-by-nights after sunset.

Resources are scarce and security is scarcer in this fallout-poisoned world, but one subterranean clan of hardy souls clings to life, scavenging and scraping by until their water supply goes catastrophically bad. Forced to seek a new life above, they leave their long-time home to caravan across the stricken planet's surface, where the light is toxic and the night hides unspeakable monsters.

It is a difficult existence without promise or direction, until word from a band of fellow refugees fizzes through the choppy radio static. The Kindred promise help, companionship, and a new settlement in a distant valley...if only the clan can reach them.

For between the Kindred and the Clan stand a hundred miles of impossible terrain and countless fly-by-nights, and within the Clan itself trouble brews when two very different men fight for the love of one woman who has already made her choice.

It's the oldest story ever told, but this time it could mean the end of humanity.

I'm a huge fan of Brian Lumley's work, but The Fly-by-Nights is definitely his weakest book. It's missing his usual intricate plots and grand vision. The characters aren't that interesting and there are no real surprises. If you're new to Lumley, you'd definitely be better off starting with Necroscope or the Titus Crow series.
Gary Furlong does a fine job with the narration.
One for Lumley completists only.

Lumley's Weakest Book by Far

A fresh take on post apocalypse, survival horror and recognisable to fans of Lumley's unique take on vampires. Listeners who've read the necroscope stories will be able to draw connections. A very good performance from furlong, it really shows his vocal range.

A fesh story for fans of the wamphyri

Not a fan I'm afraid.

Alas this falls far short of the glorious Vampire World trilogy (Necroscope books 6,7 and 8) to the point that I wouldn't even recognize it as written by Lumley if it hadn't been stated. The premise itself isn't a bad one but it's poorly executed with little of the author's usual style.

Furlong's performance feels weak, hackneyed and dull considering the subject matter. That said, I went to his website and listened to other samples of his narration and was very impressed so I'm guess this was a bad introduction to his abilities as a narrator.

Only of interest to a completest collector
