Book Overview
Richard Garrison, a Corporal in the British Military Police, loses his sight while trying to save the wife and child of millionaire industrialist Thomas Schroeder from a terrorist bomb. While Garrison is recovering from his injuries, Schroeder makes him an offer the young man cannot refuse-refuge at Schroeder's luxurious mountain retreat and rehabilitation from the best doctors who can treat Garrison's blindness and if not cure him at least teach him a new way of life. But Thomas Schroeder has a secret. He is dying and determined not to lose his life. The doctors tell him his body cannot be saved. But about his mind? Garrison's healthy young body would make an excellent replacement for Schroeder's failing corpus, if the machines to perform the operation can be perfected in time. Garrison has no secrets of his own. Since the bombing that caused a loss of his sight, Garrison has become aware of new abilities slowly developing in his mind: mental powers he is beginning to master; strengths Schroeder cannot expect. Richard Garrison and Thomas Schroeder, two strong-willed men locked in battle for the greatest prize-life itself.

NOT HORROR, and VERY GOOD!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Okay, first off I'll just say that this novel was not a horror novel; in fact, there are only a few parts that truly get scary. And it's pretty far from sci-fi, as well...only a few scenes really get involved with sci-fi. I'm honestly not sure what kind of a book it is. It was...good.I loved the characterization; main characters Richard Garrison and Thomas Shroeder, as well as the ever-important Willy Koenig and others, really intrigued me.The book dragged sometimes, but it's worth it--it's an epic adventure. Yeah, that's the best description of it.It's really hard to tell what the book is about without giving anything away; just...read it. Just don't expect to be scared of the dark or having a new sci-fi fetish world when you're done.Happy New Year,--Me
Lumley finds his voice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Readers of the wild and wooly NECROSCOPE series will be happy to see this important work of Brian Lumley back in print.After writing a number of moderately successful works under the heady influence of H.P. Lovecraft, Brian Lumley established a unique form of horror-thriller in PSYCHOMECH (1984). (This is first volume of the PSYCHOMECH TRILIOGY, with PSYCHOSPHERE (just re-printed) and the totally insane PSYCHAMOK! comprising volumes two and three respectively). PSYCHOMECH is a stunning display of Lumley's bizarre and wonderful imagination.A must read for anyone interested in the horror genre.
Espionage and ESP By The Master Himself.

Hmm, espionage, esp, I wonder what Brian Lumley likes to write about? This 'Psychomech' trilogy I stumbled upon because well, I couldn't find anything else written by Brian Lumley around. Brian's work may seem pretty easy to find at the present time. But I had to try special ordering everything of his here in Winnipeg. This series was one of the few that were available aside from his Necroscope work. I needed something to tie me over until the next Vampire story by Lumley! The story is about a character named Richard Garrison. Another likable lead character. He is in the military and is blinded saving the wife and child of some civilian. Turns out this civilian is pretty well off and seems to be grateful. He hires Garrison to assist him in his research. Research dealing with ESP, the paranormal, and even immortality. Garrison eventually meets up with a machine called the Psychomech. It amplifieds his amazing powers that he develops. There is also an evil presence on Earth researching this same power. Each become aware of each other and each knows that they must stop each other. This leads up to a pretty good finale.
