I've heard that when Steven King finishes a book, he generally has a bunch of left over energy/tension to write a short story and I imagine that this is what happened with Dan Worth.
Necropolis is more like an actual horror story than his more militaristic space opera of his trilogy. Unfortunately, for me at least, horror isn't really my cup of tea, so I was a little let down by this, but not disappointed.
The writing is very good, as one would expect from a great author that just finished his epic trilogy and it bodes very well for us receiving more works from him, something I am very much looking forward to. So, if sci-fi horror is something you enjoy, I would very much recommend this to you and if it isn't, I'd suggest his trilogy.
