The Symbiot #5
Necropolis: Book 5: R'lyeh
Woven throughout this book are the stories of characters forgotten about from the original novella, The Symbiot. Following 2 story lines set in 2 different ages, Necropolis is intricate storytelling!
It's Modern Tech versus forgotten aeons-old evil, with a reminiscent flavouring similar to Grandma Death's fictitious book (Donnie Darko, 2001)!
The conclusion of The Symbiot Series spans three millennia - from Pharaoh Nyarlathotep's genesis and demise, to the discovery of the derelict Japanese Destroyer, the Yamayuki, to the world shattering rising of R'lyeh!
The world is at its end!
R'lyeh has risen!
Cthulhu's high priest has awaken!
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

I had the opportunity to have a sneak preview of the as-of-then unfinished book by Michel Weatherall, Necropolis. Once again, I have had the lucky opportunity to read its first (as of yet unpublished) manuscript.
One thing struck me. There are powerful women in this book.
Not damsels in distress nor secondary background characters. Not pretty eye-candy (well, some are). These are powerful women facing nearly insurmountable challenges.
From Donita, the adventuring, gun toting heroine from the '30's to Veronica (from both previous books, The Symbiot and The Hunt: Symbiosys ), to the main character, Tamara.
Yes, there are men in this book's character list, but its main characters are predominantly women.
I am impressed and happily surprised!
