Given the intended audience, how could you ask such a question ?

...aah excellent, have you read all the other Lumley books before Bloodwars? I think I've got through the first set and the trilogy of vampire world novels although there was a gap of about 2 years when I struggled to find the last book, until it surfaced in a charity shop for about 75p. Bargain! Thoughts so far?

Yeah, I've read 1-7.

I had read some very positive reviews of Necroscope on Amazon, so I thought that I'd give it a shot.. Found all 13 of 'em in a local shop that imports all kinds of neat stuff, so I bought 'em.

I like how Lumley incorporates Lovecraftian elements/ideas/concepts/whatever into his stories... Like, uh, instant transportation with the help of a mathematical equation.. That's taken from Dreams in the Witch-House by Lovecraft. Fun stuff.

Anyway, I heard that Lumley is writing book 14 at the moment.

I remember after reading the third one, set mostly in the Carpthians back in the time of Vlad the Impaler, when I sent him a real fanboy email saying how much I loved that book... tickled pink when I got a response back. I don't do that any more though...

I love the mix of science/mathematics with otherworld aliens and lands as well, makes it a little more tangible I think.
