An artful blending of sci-fi, adventure, fantasy, and humor

Immortal by Gene Doucette

I don’t read fantasy novels. Haven’t since Andre Norton switched from science fiction to fantasy back when I was in high school. So it comes as a surprise—to me, at least—that I fell head over heels for Gene Doucette’s Immortal series.

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.

You’ll believe every word said by Adam, a man who is at least 60,000 years old. His story is the present, with flashbacks to wonderful stories from his long life.

There are six books in the series, they’re available at most online retailers, and you should buy the collected books because you will want to read them all.
