Story
When Adam decides to leave the safety of the island, it’s for a good reason: Eve, the only other immortal on the planet, appears to be dying, and nobody seems to understand why. But when Adam - with his extremely capable girlfriend Mirella - tries to retrace Eve’s steps, he discovers a world that’s a whole lot deadlier than he remembered. Adam is supposed to be dead. He went through a lot of trouble to fake that death, but now that he’s back, it’s clear someone remains unconvinced.

Story
A disease threatening the lives of everyone - human and nonhuman - has been loosed upon the world by an archenemy Adam didn’t even know he had. That’s just the first of his problems. Adam’s also in jail, facing multiple counts of murder, at least a few of which are accurate. He may never see the inside of a courtroom because there remains a bounty on his head - put there by the aforementioned archenemy - that someone is bound to try to collect while he’s stuck behind bars.

Book two: Hellenic Immortal; an 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...

Story
In his very long life, Adam had encountered only one person who seemed to share his longevity: the mysterious red-haired woman. She appeared throughout history, usually from a distance, nearly always vanishing before he could speak to her. In his last encounter, she actually did vanish - into thin air, right in front of him. The question was how did she do it? To answer, Adam will have to complete a quest he gave up on 1,000 years earlier, for an object that may no longer exist.

For most of humankind, the woman calling herself Eve has been nothing more than a shock of red hair glimpsed out of the corner of the eye, in a crowd, or from a great distance. She's been worshipped, feared, and hunted, but perhaps never understood. Now, she's trying to reconnect with the world, and finding that more challenging than anticipated. Can the oldest human on Earth rediscover her own humanity? Or will she decide the world isn't worth it?

Corrigan Bain was retired. It wasn’t something he ever thought he’d be able to do. The problem was that the job he wanted to retire from wasn’t actually a job at all: Nobody paid him to do it, and nobody else did it. With very few exceptions, nobody even knew he was doing it. Corrigan called himself a fixer, because he fixed accidents that were about to happen. It was complicated and unrewarding, and even though doing it right meant saving someone, he didn’t enjoy it.

When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

Dib is an Earthlike planet, only slightly smaller, with shorter days and longer years, in orbit around twin suns. On the continent of Geo, in the city of Velon in the nation of Inimata, a man lies dead in his study. In life, Professor Orno Linus was a world-class scholar: an astrophysicist, a dead-language linguist, and an expert in (and apparent true believer of) the religious concept of the Cull, i.e., the end of the world. Widely respected, nothing about Linus’s expertise suggests somebody might want him dead.

Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate - whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.

Publisher's Summary
New, from the best-selling author of The Spaceship Next Door!
"I thought I'd miss the world." - Adam the Immortal
Adam 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 Immortal
Nothing 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.

Best series I’ve tripped over . . . Ever!
One of my friends saw me out running the other day, laughing, and with a huge smile on my face. That because I found this series just a little while ago as a distraction to help me through my runs and long walks. I don’t like running so anything to push me through is a bonus. This series takes the odd topic of immortality and turns it into a comic adventure, almost a comedian’s stage sets over various episodes, of dalliances over a lifetime, or rather time itself. It is brilliantly performed too with nuanced personalities showing up here and there, asking questions of the listener, dismissing incredulity, imprinting the various “beasts” as “why nots” and somehow we believe the author is tapped in to the unknown. We soon believe and are laughing about Buster, the doglike dragon or some foot tall afreet or however the hell you spell that, belching and . . . well, doing all the things no one in their right, sober mind would ever think of doing. This other world of Mr. Doucette’s is roundly written, brought to hysterical reality and then given harmony by Mr. Carlson, and while I only recently discovered these two, author and narrator, it is the reason we should roll the dice on authors and plot lines, and go enjoy the run, while laughing our butts off!

Really becoming a fan of Gene Doucette's work
And preferable to Harry Potter-ish works on magical creatures and such. There are only a handful of works that i'd go back to for a second listen - this series is one of them. I enjoy the author's sense of humor and the narrator really pulls it all together. Nicely done

Fun story
Before I selected this series, I read some reviews that provided negative feedback. I was not sure about the selection but since audio allows you to return it, I have it a try. I have not been able to pull away from the series. I love it, it is funny and light and has a great spin to the immortal and fantasy aspect. Some stories are a little far fetched but still entertaining. I do not always need logic, thank goodness.

Best book in the series
I love the immortal series including the novellas which do not need to be read in any order as the main novels do. The 3rd book in the series was good but to me started to decline just a little or maybe I was just in need of new series since I read all of them in a row. That being said a few months went by and I saw his 4th book in the series came out and am I glad I found it! This book was awesome, it had everything I had come to love about the series!! Adam is funny as always with problems only a 60,000 year old man can have. I love the interplay of all the mythical creatures and how most of the stories humans know are not true. The first 3 books introduced you slowly to all of these creatures. The 4th book now has Adam on an Island filled with all of them as a creature vacation spot. It picks up nicely from the last 3 books and puts adam and these creatures against a never before seen foe!! If you liked the first 3 you will love this one! Oh it ends on a cliffhanger and now I'm dying for book 5!!!

Highly recommended
After reading the first three books in this series, I jumped straight into the forth instalment without a second's hesitation. I wasn't disappointed. Like the other books in the series, there's humour, excitement, a great plot and a brilliant performance by the narrator, Steve Carlson. I recommend this book highly. Where else can you get the perspective on life from a former caveman? Brilliant.
