Immortal from Hell

The Immortal Series, Book 5

By: Gene Doucette

Narrated by: Steve Carlson

Not all of Adam’s stories have happy endings.

“Paris is romantic, and quests are cool. But the threat of a global pandemic kind of sours the whole thing. The good news was if all life on Earth were felled by a plague, it looked like this one could take me out, too. It’d be pretty lonely otherwise.” - Adam the Immortal

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. That wouldn’t be so terrible, except that whoever it is, they have a great deal of influence and an abiding interest in ensuring that his death sticks this time around.

Adam and Mirella will have to figure out how to travel halfway across the world in secret, with almost no resources or friends. The good news is Adam solved the travel problem a thousand years earlier. The bad news is one of his oldest assumptions will turn out to be untrue.

Immortal from Hell is the darkest entry in the Immortal series.

Captivative writing

This series never ceases to disappoint me, it always Sparks my imagination and creates an amazing visual in my head when listening.

Five Stars

Each book in the entire Immortal Series of audiobooks has been spectacular so far. This book continues the excellent story, and ups the ante for how much trouble Adam can get himself in...

Cute plot, definately didnt disappoint

good book, enjoyable narrator, well worth the listen
Looking forward to the next installment. yup

Strong continuation of this series

I liked this better than book 4 of the series. More streamlined plot equaled to 10 hours of fun listening on long car rides. Steve Carlson is just the perfect narrator for this series, with his deadpan delivery of Adam's sarcastic outlook on (eternal) life. Couple of criticisms: This is clearly a transition book, ending with a totally unresolved story line (and the introduction of a third immortal). And there were moments when it all started to sound too much like a Dresden Files book. Hey, I actually like the Dresden Files but there's so much potential in the basic idea of an immortal (with a penchant for alcohol and a world-weary outlook) that Doucette shouldn't have to resort to goblins, demons, vampires, and other preternatural beings as much as he did in the last few books to create exciting stories.

Amazing

If you like sci-fi and history this is the book for you! Amazing narrator as well.
