Immortal by Gene Doucette 356 pp.
"Adam" is a rare human who is immortal. He cannot die from natural causes but, under the right (wrong?) circumstances, he could be killed. He doesn't know why he is this way or how old he really is. He was born approximately sixty thousand years ago. Through the millennia he lived in many parts of the world, adopted many names, learned many languages, drank a lot of alcohol, and dodged many who wanted him dead. So far he has survived by cunning and luck. Now he has reached the 21st century and is on the run chased by a demon who wants to kill him and a nefarious corporation who want his blood. Then there are the vampires . . . . This was a cheap Kindle sale purchase and the first in a series. I didn't expect a whole lot from it but was pleasantly surprised at how engaging the writing and story are. If they offer a deal on book two I plan to get it.
