Story
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.

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?

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.

Waking up to discover the apocalypse had begun, and to find that I was no longer human, was not how I thought my day would go. But then again, I supposed I was thankful to just have another day to begin with, considering I’d apparently been a mindless monster for the last several months. The city was a mess, with many buildings destroyed by massive black towers that rose into the sky like enormous thorns. And yet, despite all this, I was about to discover that the monsters and bizarre landscape weren’t the strangest things about the apocalypse.

In this shared-world anthology, five heavy hitters from the dark worlds of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi pool their warped takes on the shadow organization that offers employment of the most unusual kind to those on the fringes of society.

Summary
Surviving 60,000 years takes cunning and more than a little luck. But in the 21st century, Adam confronts new dangers - someone has found out what he is, a demon is after him, and he has run out of places to hide. Worst of all, he has had entirely too much to drink.
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.
At the center of the book is Adam.
Adam is a 60,000 year old man. He doesn't age or get sick, but is otherwise entirely capable of being killed. His survival has hinged on an innate ability to adapt, his wits, and a fairly large dollop of luck. He makes an excellent guide through history, when he's sober.

Original and exciting ideas delivered in a boring box
I really liked the beginning of the story but about half way through I realised that not a lot had happened and I was starting to get bored. The fact that the guy likes to drink gets a bit tedious, he doesn't do anything fun when he is drunk. Just reminisces constantly, which is what most alcoholics do I guess. The back stories and anecdotes get a bit tiresome after a while and the main story plays second fiddle for some time. The writing style can be a bit laborious at times: constantly over explaining where little to none is needed. Also, there were several sections which had no need to be in the book, they may have even been full chapters and they didn't add anything. The dialogue could be terrible at times with forced attempts at humour. There were good points, some nice zany touches, interesting and entertaining ideas for characters and I really like the overall concept, just needs a good editor on board to chop out the tedious stuff. The narrator is a good narrator, but I think he doesn't suit the story. The protagonist is meant to be physically 34, but the narrator is over 60. This adds to the annoying interruptions in that it feels that a rambling old favourite uncle has just, yet again, interrupted the story to tell a vaguely amusing but tangential anecdote. I liked the beginning and the final finale, but the middle three fifths could really be better.

Great story that will make you think about life!
Where does Immortal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I typically listen to sci-fi and this was a deviation for me. This is one of my favorite non sci-fi listens ever.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Immortal?
Not one moment, but throughout the book the comparing and contrasting past to present in ways that made me think. This book made me ponder the idea of being immortal, seeing civilization come to be, witnessing everyone you've ever know die, and seeing history repeat itself over and over.
Have you listened to any of Steve Carlson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not. I found him easy to listen to though at times I would have inferred different inflection and tone from the text.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not extreme but I did laugh out loud a couple of times. Mostly this book made me think. The story is good and held my interest but what I remember most is thinking about life and how short and fragile it is.
Any additional comments?
If you're into sci-fi and would like to venture out, this book may do the trick. I've tried other fantasy and mystery novels with little success, I found this book suited my tastes perfectly.

aggressively mediocre
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
better story and different narrator - note...not a BETTER narrator per se...as Steve's voice is nice and clear. More on that below
What was most disappointing about Gene Doucette’s story?
Needed more depth to the main character and the stories he tells. Its all rather shallow... like a high school student was asked to speculate on various famous historical events and what it felt like to like through them. It lacked teeth.
What about Steve Carlson’s performance did you like?
I quite liked Steve Carlson's voice and cadence in general (which is why i am giving him 4 stars)... and would probably really enjoy listening to him read something else... but... his voice was wrong for this first person story. The story centers on an immortal who looks 30 something and never ages in any way.... and so a narrator who is 30 something would sound the part better. BUT... Steve Carlson is obviously an older man... and its obvious from his voice and breathing patterns...and i found it distracting me from the story. He sounds kinda like Bob Newhart (not a bad thing). (note: i can also understand the logic behind having an old man read the inner voice of someone who is supposed to be 60,000 years old...but... it just didn't work for me)
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Immortal?
hmmm... its not so much that any specific story needed to be cut.... I just wish the author had done a few things differently:1. not "name dropped" famous historical names and/or events so much. It was kinda lame. Would have been better to do it fewer times but with more authenticity to the stories. Better research of what it REALLY would have felt like to live through those various times (warts and all....)
Any additional comments?
didn't hate it...but rolled my eyes quite a bit

Good performance of a dull story
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The author plays with the aspect of a thousands years old immortal, and starts fine. But after about 2/3 of the book, it begins to wear thin. You'll get 2 paragraphs of the in media res story line, then he will flash back to the 'normal' time line for 10 pages, only to do a throwaway, unrelated, side story for 20 pages, back to the current for 10 pages, repeat.
It's interesting at first, but the gimmick wears thin when the character starts to know every single historical famous person to have ever existed, and had brunch (or sex) with them. It's also frustrating because the story goes nowhere, and it does so at an infuriatingly slow pace.
There is a good amount of very interesting world building going on in the novel, but it's hampered by the authors incessant need for navel gazing. It's like having your dotage age grandparents explain the great depression; the core story is compelling but they won't stop spitting out meaningless asides and side stories long enough to tell it.
Would you ever listen to anything by Gene Doucette again?
Possibly; the writing style is good and technically competent, if a bit dull.
Have you listened to any of Steve Carlson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've never listened to his performances before, but he was quite good.
Could you see Immortal being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
This is the single most idiotic question I've ever been asked.

Loved it!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If I had not already purchased the second and third books of this series, I would be doing that now. The first installment was so enjoyable I nearly cried when it ended, not because it had a sad ending but because I was sad that the story was over!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Adam is a hero. He denies it, but he is. He is an immortal who has seen all the good and bad that life can offer and still hasn't lost his humanity. And he has a sense of humor about it all that is rather uplifting for the reader.
Which character – as performed by Steve Carlson – was your favorite?
Steve Carlson was the perfect voice for this book. His performance of all the assorted characters was as perfect as I could wish for.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Oh, I could have listened to all of it in one sitting, but I spread it out over two days. A book this good doesn't come along every day and I wanted to savor it as long as possible.

An old theme with a disappointing story
From the earliest story of Gligamesh to the legend of the wandering Jew to the legend of the sorcerer's stone, the theme of immortality has been discussed with many a twist. The Immortal takes this well treated theme and adds...wait for it...corrupt businessmen and overly focused scientists. This plot could have been generated by computer. The interstices are no better filled. Our hero observes that beer is good, women are unique and life is sometimes harsh. Throw in some vampires, pixies and demons with a liberal atheistic message and voila, something for everyone. Except me. Seen it done better...often.

Quite Good
I enjoyed this book very much. The humor is on point and the history references are very imaginative. The author manages to make a impossible scenario seem not only just feasible but so believable you become lost in the story. The adult scenes are not graphic, even if the references to sex are plentiful. I have only one warning, the main character is an atheist and disrespectful about faith. That can feel very offensive to believers.

I thank I found a good one.
I really enjoy a good science fiction one that has a lot of space ships something really futuristic but I couldn't find anything. So I finally chose spaceship next door. It didn't look like my kind of book, that I tried it anyway out of desperation. It turned out to be one of the best books I ever read or listen to either one. The narrator was great I guess the writer was okay too I really like them. Sadly I came to the end of that book and when searching for another thinking there would be sequel found out I was wrong. I decided to give the author another chance at The Immortal Series just listen to The First One and I loved it. I just bought the second let's see how it goes.

Predictable and boring
I couldn’t wait for this book to be over. There were a couple of times I almost gave up on it. It’s just another “Oh, you think you know what happened in history? You’re wrong. I did that.” book. The immortal is a drunk who hangs out with naked female pixies and a naked ifrit that apparently has a constant erection. It was chapter 16 before I even became mildly interested in the book. I was still able to predict everything that happened from chapter 16 to the end.
Another thing that irked me was the narrator’s voice. The main character is supposed to be 32. While the narrator did a fabulous job, he sounds like he’s closer to 65 than 32. I couldn’t reconcile that voice with what the character was supposed to be so I never got that sense of immersion that I enjoy.

Not bad
Love the premise. The story was researched and the characters were interesting with spotty humor. My only complaint would have to be the narrators voice. Although he did a fine job overall with the narration, his voice sounded to elderly for a main character who was only supposed to be around 33 years old. Even with that I will buy book two.
