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…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.

And he’s very funny. You’ll enjoy spending time with him. Unfortunately, I can’t…
Slow at first but picks up nicely — A great read! “Adam” is immortal and isn’t sure how or why. However, he can be hurt or killed through normal means (though he can’t get sick), so he’s spent 30,000 plus years just avoiding trouble and trying to be a nice guy all around. At first, the premise appears lame and uninteresting (no special powers? no real explanations?) but the writer has done a great job with the premise, dialogue and plot. In this sequel(Immortal is the first in the series — you should read this first!), Adam finds himself…
