"Very occasionally, I will pop up in the historical record. Most of the time I''m not at all easy to spot, because most of the time I''m just a guy who does a thing and then disappears again into the background behind someone-or-other who''s busy doing something much more important. But there are a couple of rare occasions when I get a starring role." --Adam the ImmortalAn oracle has predicted the sojourner''s end, which is a problem for Adam insofar as he has never encountered an oracular prediction that didn''t come true . . . and he is the sojourner. To survive, he''s going to have to figure out what a beautiful ex-government analyst, an eco-terrorist, a rogue FBI agent, and the world''s oldest religious cult all want with him, and fast.And all he wanted when he came to Vegas was to forget about a girl. And maybe have a drink or two."I am probably not the best source when it comes to who invented what. For a long time I thought I invented the wheel." --Adam the ImmortalThe second book in the Immortal series, Hellenic Immortal follows the continuing adventures of Adam, a sixty-thousand-year-old man with a wry sense of humor, a flair for storytelling, and a knack for staying alive. Hellenic Immortal is a clever blend of history, mythology, sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, mystery and romance. A little something, in other words, for every reader.

"I thought I''d miss the world." --Adam the immortalAdam is on vacation in an island paradise, with nothing to do and plenty of time to do nothing.It''s exactly what he needed: beautiful weather, beautiful girlfriend, plenty of books to read, and alcohol to drink. Most importantly, either nobody on the island knows who he is, or, nobody cares."This probably sounds boring, and maybe it is. It''s possible I have no compass to help determine boring, or maybe I have a different threshold than most people. From my perspective, though, the vast majority of human history has been boring, by which I mean nothing happened, and sure, that can be dull. On the other hand, nothing happening includes nobody trying to kill anybody, and specifically, nobody trying to kill me. That''s the kind of boring a guy can get behind." --Adam the immortalNothing last forever, though, and that includes the opportunity to do nothing. One day, unwelcome visitors arrive in secret, with impossible knowledge of impossible events, and then the impossible things arrive: a new species.It''s all impossible, especially to the immortal man who thought he''d seen all there was to see in the world. Now, Adam is going to have to figure out what''s happening and make things right before he and everyone he loves ends up dead in the hot sun of this island paradise.Immortal and the Island of Impossible Things is the fourth book in Gene Doucette''s acclaimed Immortal novel series, and the start of a new adventure for Adam the immortal man! Catch up on all that''s come before, with Immortal, Hellenic Immortal, Immortal at the Edge of the World, and the novellas in The Immortal Chronicles and Immortal Stories: Eve.

When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness. Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girla girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate. Gillian Shields's electrifying tale will dazzle readers with suspense, mysticism, and romance.
