Download or read book IMMORTAL written by D. E. Davidson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-12-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewers have written that IMMORTAL is "A gripping supernatural thriller," "fast-paced," "tightly plotted," "epic scale horror," "a joy," "so easy to pick up and so hard to put down!" and have compared this title favorably with titles by Stephen King and Peter Straub A future world parallel to our own is ruled by two souls trapped in one body, a powerful geneticist/demon named Apep. Apep feeds on the life force of those who inhabit this world to keep himself alive. Yet despite his genetic genius and mystical powers, he is dying. To make himself immortal, he embarks on a plan which threatens the existence of our world. Apep?s plan involves a series of brutal murders on our world which seem to have been committed by an inhuman beast. In the midst of these murders Jeremy Wheeler, a middle aged Psychologist, finds his early morning walk interrupted by an odd gnome-like man who identifies himself as Conrad LuPone. Conrad tells Jeremy that Jeremy is the link between his world and that of Apep. Conrad insists Jeremy is the single cohesive element who will either enable or prevent Apep?s plan from succeeding and determine the ultimate fate of this evil. Skeptical, it takes a series of strange events to convince Jeremy the gnomish man is right. Jeremy prepares for battle and, accompanied by Hank Davison, the local sheriff ? who had his own encounter with the extraordinary ? steps through a portal to Apep?s world. Jeremy meets a variety of interesting characters on his journey, and joins with an Engineer, Lori Hellman, and a boy, Mark Scott, who are also from his world, to assault Apep?s palace. "...an intriguing and suspenseful read. In the tradition of Stephen King and Peter Straub, who mix the supernatural and science fiction genres, Immortal tells of a man who takes revenge on a serial killer and, as a result, lets loose an evil that he must then attempt to conquer by traveling through time." Kate Templeton Fox for the OHIOANA QUARTERLY, the journal for the Ohioana Library Association. "A gripping supernatural thriller, IMMORTAL belongs to that class of horror fantasy that is so easy to pick up and so hard to put down!" Midwest Book Review. "Jeremy?s adventures combine the qualities of Outward Bound and Alice in Wonderland, with sufficient death and destruction to satisfy most Stephen King fans."--Craig Wilson Special to the Akron Beacon Journal, Book Talk column. "With fast-paced, compact scenes and dialog that moves the story in at a constant high-speed pace, makes Immortal the kind of book that is difficult to put down. After reading it, the images, and perhaps the nightmares, linger. Davidson has written a tightly plotted horror novel that deserves some attention. I will be looking for more work by this talented writer." -- Phillip Tomasso III for BookBrowser. "Despite Stephen King opening wide the door, few authors have given a good stab at doing epic scale horror. D. E. Davidson picks up the challenge, finding inspiration in King?s Dark Tower series, Straub?s Shadowland and both authors? The Talisman. The influences are very obvious, but Davidson has crafted an original enough concept for his novel to stand or fall on its own merits. My take is it stands... "Davidson handles his plotting well, serving up surprises that really surprise. His action sequences are exciting and frequent. The real world town of Prattville, Ohio is lovingly rendered and his characters are likable and believably flawed individuals facing extraordinary circumstances. The plot is complex, and so is the structure. Davidson?s skill in knowing when to show a glimpse of his cards and when to keep them hidden is remarkable. Both his story and his characters show a great deal of depth and intelligence. Even better, he avoids episodic battles that don?t advance his plot, a pandemic problem with epic quest fantasies. Nothing is thrown in for a quick thrill; every scene moves the story toward the final confrontation between good and evil. It?s always a joy to find a debut novel by an author who sets high goals and for the most part achieves them. I found that kind of joy in Immortal: A Linking of Souls."-- Garrett Peck, HELLNOTES NEWSLETTER review. (The Hellnotes Bookstore 27780 Donkey Mine Road, Oak Run, CA 96069) ?Here?s an apocalyptic dark fantasy work that has hints of King, Koontz, Straub and more. More than once while reading it I made a comparison to The Stand and The Dark Tower series, both by Stephen King (The Stand is one of my all time favorites).?-- Lynn Nicole Louis, SFReader. "IMMORTAL: A Linking of Souls is an intricate, thoroughly ambitious trip into that ever-changing labyrinth of life, afterlife and pre-life experienced by all people -- whether they?re cognizant of the journey or not. ?Fast-paced, yet erudite, this novel successfully straddles the boundaries of horror and metaphysical science fiction, with a strong emphasis on behavioral ethics and the role fate plays in all of our lives. ?The use of descriptive detail and characterization throughout is excellent. ?While it isn?t your average horror novel, it should satisfy fans of King, Straub and Koontz, as well as intrigue fans of cross-genre works." -- A. R. Morlan, author of THE AMULET and DARK JOURNEY (Bantam Books) and hundreds of short stories, articles and etc. ? ? ? About IMMORTAL J. N. Williamson, author/editor of 44+ published novels and books including HOW TO WRITE TALES OF HORROR, FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION writes,"...I believe your book (IMMORTAL) depicts signs of brilliance in two principle areas: the clarity of each scene, especially those that are shockingly horrific, and the general flow of the work, each scene and section following one another in inevitable but unexpected sequence. ?Rather little is usually said about what I term ?flow? in a novel but I think it?s one of the semi-secret reasons why certain novels stand out from others coming out at the same time...." ? ? ? "IMMORTAL: A Linking of Souls mercilessly peals back the thin veil covering our comfortable conceptions of Time and Reality to reveal a chilling glimpse of a relentless evil lying in wait behind and beyond all things, a grand achievement in dark fantasy, horror, and heroic story telling!" -- C. Dean Andersson, author of The Bloodsong Saga series, I AM DRACULA and many other novels. ? ? ? Greg F. Gifune, editor at Thevin? Kitty Publications says, "With IMMORTAL, D. E. Davidson has created a suspenseful and entertaining read, but also a horor novel of unusual depth and intelligence. A provocative page-turner from a highly skilled author. Not to be missed." ? ? ? ?Award winning author Brian A. Hopkins says, "With IMMORTAL, D. E. Davidson takes his place among the new pack of horrormongers, but proves himself a step or two ahead of most, with finely-crafted writing skills honed by years as the superb editor of NIGHT TERRORS." ? ? ? ?Author and poet, Sandra DeLuca says "IMMORTAL is stunning. D. E. Davidson?s talent shines within this novel. His writing is sheer perfection. His words possess power and sheer brilliance. He has proven that he is a master within the horror genre." ? ? ? Reader, Natalie Oakley in Melbourne, Australia wrote, "I?ve just finished with IMMORTAL, and I must say - it was brilliant.... I enjoyed your plot. I found it very hard to anticipate, which is wonderful. I felt for your characters. I could visualize your descriptions.... Well done, I really enjoyed it." ? ? ? ?Khaled Hosseini wrote, "A really, really engaging piece of fiction....I was somewhat awestruck by the breadth and the scope of the task you had undertaken....Clearly, this was NOT a straight forward story to tell....Through it all, I did not detect a single false note. Your characters are so well drawn, I really did not want to leave them at the end...." ? ? ? ?About IMMORTAL author James S. Dorr wrote, "...the

Book excerpt: An action-packed thriller from global bestseller Wilbur Smith "It takes one to recognise one. This was a man trained to live with and by violence. He was muscle, a soldier, in the jargon. I had hoped never to see this kind of barracuda cruising St Mary's placid waters. It gave me a sick little slide in the guts to know that it had found me out again." He left that life behind. But that life hasn't left him... Harry Fletcher lives a quiet life these days, running a tourist fishing boat from the quiet island of St Mary's, off the South African coast. Then his next group arrives, with very specific instructions for Harry -instructions that suggest they know exactly who he is. Before he knows it, Harry has been swept back into a world of greed and violence, of men who will do anything to get their hands on the treasure under the sea, and of women who are too beautiful to trust. But when the Great Mogul diamond is the prize, all Harry knows is that he'll do anything to get there first...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fourth Owl novel, Kristi Charish (The Voodoo Killings) melds sparkling fantasy with the grit of urban underbelly—with a detour through the world’s most spectacular cities. This is perfect for fans of Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, Jennifer Estep, Jenn Bennett, and fantasy lovers everywhere. Through no fault of her own, Alix has found herself essential to the fate of the world as we know it. She didn’t mean for this to happen—she was quite happy being merely the notorious antiquities thief, and ex-archeologist, known as Owl. However, years ago, Owl reluctantly entered the secret world of the supernatural. Her goals: complete one job, escape one bounty on her head, continue her thieving in peace. Fast forward to today. Now, she has become a key player in a brutal paranormal civil war that is rapidly getting out of hand. The leader of one of these factions—a lethal opponent called the Electric Samurai—grows more powerful by the second. To stop him, Owl sets out to find the long-lost, legendary group known as the Tiger Thieves. But will it be too little too late? One thing Owl misses about “normal” archaeology: there are few emergencies with thousand-year-old relics.
