I don’t compare classics like Douglas Adams’ book to contemporary works very easily, so you can be certain that I really do enjoy and recommend Immortal.” I love The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and I have to say that quite honestly, Immortal does have the feel of the classic as Adam tries to sober up to run away from his many would-be captors.

If they all don’t get captured by scientists to be poked and prodded and exploited first. Sure he’s a drunken lecher of the first degree, but after sixty thousand years, wouldn’t you be too? He’s clever and street smart, which has kept him alive over the millennia and yet he still holds onto the romantic idea that he’s not the only immortal, that the redheaded beauty he keeps seeing will one day reveal herself to him. “Adam is probably one of my favourite characters I’ve read about in a long time. It’s one of the best books I’ve read this year.” “If you like well-written, witty urban fantasy with a dash of non-sparkly vampires, history and mystery, give this a try. Immortal is a contemporary fantasy for non-fantasy readers and fantasy enthusiasts alike. He makes for an excellent guide through history. (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. The second thing I learned was, don’t try to run through fire.” -Adam the ImmortalĪdam is a sixty thousand year old man. 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. “I have been in quite a few tight situations in my long life. 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. Immortal is a first person confessional penned by a man who is immortal, but not invincible. Worst of all, he has had entirely too much to drink. 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. Surviving sixty thousand years takes cunning and more than a little luck.

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 “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.
