Advantages: Gripping sci-fi horror
Disadvantages: None that I can see!

...Psychomech Trilogy, comprised of Psychomech, Psychosphere and Psychamok, is one of the earlier works of best selling British sci-fi/horror writer Brian Lumley, who is best known for his best selling Necroscope series and numerous short story collections. I'll attempt to give a relatively brief summary of each of the books. PSYSCHOMECH The first book begins in the early 70s and introduces us to Richard Garrison, an English soldier who loses his ...
...- £8.24 for Psychomech or Psychosphere (paperback) and £10+ for Psychamok (hardback). I should imagine that high-street shops will charge similar prices to Amazon. Amazon Traders are slightly better, but ebay seems to be your best bet, with current auctions offering each of the three for around £1-2 plus a similar amount in postage. Can't say fairer than that now, can you? ... Read review

Advantages: A Fantastic Story, Well Told
Disadvantages: No Wamphyri!

...latest in the series - Necroscope: The Touch. In my view, Lumley is improving all of the time in making his human characters 'human'. In this latest novel, their frailties, personalities, actions and interactions encourage you to get under their skin, to empathise, to will them onwards and upwards. Another good sign is that you'll also get frustrated and irritated with them at times! The villains of the piece, the Mordri Three are, quite literally, ...
