Summary
“I don’t know how old I am.My earliest memory
is something along the lines of fire good, ice bad, so I
think I predate written history, but I don’t know by
how much. I like to brag that I’ve been there from the
beginning, and while this may very well be true, I generally
just say it to pick up girls.” --Adam the Immortal Surviving sixty thousand years takes cunning and more than
a little luck. But in the twenty-first century, Adam
confronts new dangers—someone has found out what he is,
a demon is after him, and he has run out of places to
hide.Worst of all, he has had entirely too much to drink. Immortal is a first person confessional penned by a man
who is immortal, but not invincible. In an artful blending of
sci-fi, adventure, fantasy, and humor, IMMORTAL introduces us
to a world with vampires, demons and other
“magical” creatures, yet a world without actual
magic. At the center of the book is Adam. “I have been in quite a few tight situations in my
long life. One of the first things I learned was if there is
going to be a mob panic, don’t be standing between the
mob and wherever it is they all want to go. The second thing
I learned was, don’t try to run through fire.”
--Adam the Immortal Adam is a sixty thousand year old man. (Approximately.) He
doesn’t age or get sick, but is otherwise entirely
capable of being killed.His survival has hinged on an innate
ability to adapt, his wits, and a fairly large dollop of
luck.He makes for an excellent guide through history . . .
when he’s sober. Immortal is a contemporary fantasy for non-fantasy readers
and fantasy enthusiasts alike.
