Description

In a chilling tale of supernatural horror, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as a new Necroscope faces off against a trio of malevolent aliens bent on destruction.

The Mordri Three, a trio of bloodthirsty aliens, have already destroyed one world and most of their own race; now they have their eyes set on earth. With the ability to alter flesh with a simple touch, turning people inside out or seeding them with cancer, these malevolent beings pose an unimaginable threat to mankind.

Scott St. John, a fledgling Necroscope mourning the loss of his beloved wife, is struck by a golden arrow of light—a fragment of the soul of Harry Keogh, the original Necroscope—and gains powers he does not yet understand. Aided by a mysterious woman from beyond the stars, a telepathic Wolf, the ghost of Harry Keogh, and the best of E-Branch's psychic fighting forces, Scott must confront the impossibly strong and psychically gifted monsters to save Earth from annihilation.

Necroscope: The Touch is a gripping tale of supernatural horror that blends elements of science fiction, dark fantasy, and paranormal thriller. Brian Lumley's masterful storytelling will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they follow Scott St. John's harrowing journey to become the new Necroscope and face off against an unfathomable evil.

    It took a couple of days to get through this book. The story was slow and it was nothing like the earlier series in aspects of action. The characters in the story needed an explanation before executing the simplest task. Meaning this was not a page turner. The main character who receives Harry's powers uses his abilites literally in the last chapter. The author built this character as having in depth experience with martial arts but not once was he in a melee situation. I wouldn't pay more than five dollars for this drawn out tale. The author clearly used his name to sell this book.
