Great way to tie it all together!

Revisado: 10-09-24

I started reading Necroscope when I was about 15 and I finally got around to finishing the series. this is by far my favorite book of the whole series. Vampire monks and the Cosa Nostra! Lumley outdid himself with this one.

PKDick flavoured hard sci-fi!

Revisado: 08-13-21

I've been a fan of the author's for years now, but this one was truly an instant classic. The identity mind scramble that Philip K Dick was so fond of is done here masterfully. I rarely listen to a book more than once, but I know I will be listening to this one again!

excellent scifi series!

Revisado: 07-01-21

I don't see enough plausable scifi involving the near future. Well written and believable using actual s ience. Neal Asher is becoming one of my favorite authors. I especially liked the nod to previous science fiction authors peppered throughout the books. I might just read this trilogy again.

excellent apocolyptic series

Revisado: 01-27-21

This is one of the best EOTWAWKI series that I have read, and I have read a few. Great characters, a different, more realistic plot, well told, and RC Bray. Just Great!

Pretty good zombie apocalypse story!

Revisado: 07-24-20

would have been 5 stars but lack of contractions made the dialog a little awkward. Also jumping from one story arc to another with no noticable pause made it difficult to follow at times. Still a good read for the money. Definitely recommend for fans of Zombie Apocalypse fiction.

Classic sci-fi with a Great Narrator

Revisado: 03-03-20

Ubik is classic PKD, which questions the nature of life, death, identity and reality. Luke Daniels adds a layer of richness to the characters to breath life into the story. If you like the mind bending twists in films like the Matrix or Inception, then you really should give PKD a try and this is a great exemplar of his works. Highly recommend.

Supernatural meets Sons of Anarchy now we know.

Revisado: 01-18-19

The first in the series was pretty interesting, but I struggled to finish this one. The crazy mashup accents that made the first book entertaining have become old quickly. Scottish Southern? Bronson Pinchot deserves better. Also, I will just mention that half the book is about juggalo magic, so make of that what you will. Maybe you like ICP. On the bright side: werepossum.

Hardcore Sci-Fi Humour for discerning monkeys

Revisado: 08-27-17

I have enjoyed this series probably more than I should. Its really corny and there are some parts that seem a little forced, but those are by far outweighed by the number of times I laughed out loud. The basic premise is that there is an intergalactic war that Earth gets dragged into, and earthlings, being the lowest tech species involved, are used as cannon fodder. By chance (or possibly not) one earthling discovers an Elder artificial intelligence that happens to also be a raging smartass. The AI helps the earthlings to get free of the yoke of their oppressors, and goes on adventures throughout the galaxy in a captured warship. Its pretty funny, and very well narrated. If you like a little humor in your sci-fi this is for you. If you can't stand humor in your sci-fi, you'll probably hate it.

The third book in the series ties up a loose end from the first book rather nicely.

Interesting take on a standard sci-fi trope

Revisado: 10-23-16

First, I purchased this omnibus after it had sat in my wish list for a while, so I had forgotten what it was about. This is how I recommend you read it. Don't go into this with any preconceived notions or ideas about what it is, and you will love the thrill it gives you with the big reveal. Narration was tops, and the writing was solid with many three diminsional characters. Great stuff. If you're into apocalyptic "shtf" type books, this is all winning.

Typical Action packed Spider Zombie Madness

Revisado: 10-23-16

Story was pretty straight forward, with just the right amount of character development, and just enough "wtf" moments where the characters do stupid stuff that make you want to yell at them, which is almost required in Horror. This is more of a syfy saturday matinee than a classic that will stand the test of time. What I'm saying here is don't set your sites too high, its entertainment folks. The reader almost killed it with her flat reading, but she warms up about a third of the way into the book. Hang in there. Interesting premise and exciting scenes keep this book on the high side of three stars.
