Someone''s altering the future, and it isn''t Corrigan BainCorrigan Bain was retired.It wasn''t something he ever thought he''d be able to do. The problem was that the job he wanted to retire from wasn''t actually a job at all: nobody paid him to do it, and nobody else did it. With very few exceptions, nobody even knew he was doing it.Corrigan called himself a fixer, because he fixed accidents that were about to happen. It was complicated and unrewarding, and even though doing it right meant saving someone, he didn''t enjoy it. He couldn''t stop-he thought-because there would always be accidents, and he would never find someone to take over as fixer. Anyone trying would have to be capable of seeing the future, like he did, and that kind of person was hard to find.Still, he did it. He''s never been happier.His girlfriend, Maggie Trent of the FBI, has not retired. Her task force just shut down the most dangerous domestic terrorist cell in the country, and she''s up for an award, and a big promotion.Everything''s going their way now, and the future looks even brighter.Unfortunately, that future is about to blow up in their faces...literally. And somehow, Corrigan Bain, fixer, the man who can see the future, is taken completely by surprise.Fixer Redux is the long-awaited sequel to Fixer. Catch up with Corrigan, as he tries to understand a future that no longer makes sense.
From the pages of the Immortal book series, it''s Eve."...if your next question is, what could that possibly make me, if I''m not an angel or a god? The answer is the same as what I said before: many have considered me a god, and probably a few have thought of me as an angel. I''m neither, if those positions are defined by any kind of supernormal magical power. True magic of that kind doesn''t exist, but I can do things that may appear magic to someone slightly more tethered to their mortality. I''m a woman, and that''s all. What may make me different from the next woman is that it''s possible I''m the very first one..."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?
Corrigan Bain can see the future... but only about five seconds of it, and only what''s in front of him. He also can''t really control it, and on bad days is pretty positive he''s losing his mind. Still, whether it''s a gift or a curse, Corrigan uses his ability to help people when he can.But when FBI agent Maggie Trent asks for help on a case, Corrigan''s tenuous grip on reality is shaken. She''s got some dead college students whose deaths aren''t actually accidental, but the only person who can prove that is Corrigan. He doesn''t want to, because doing so would mean facing something he''s been repressing for years.He was twelve when he learned that monsters are real. They live in the future, and they don''t want to be seen. Now, Corrigan has to stop one of them.Unfortunately, Corrigan Bain is also going insane.Fixer is a non-stop sci-fi horror thriller, from the best-selling author of the Immortal series and The Spaceship Next Door.

When Oliver Naughton joins the Tenth Avenue Writers Underground, headed by literary wunderkind Wilson Knight, Oliver figures he''ll finally get some of his wild imaginings out of his head and onto paper.But when Wilson takes an intense interest in Oliver''s writing and his genre stories of dragons, aliens, and spies, things get weird. Oliver''s stories don''t just need to be finished: they insist on it.With the help of Minerva, Wilson''s girlfriend, Oliver has to find the connection between reality, fiction, the mythical Cydonian Kingdom, and the non-mythical nightclub called M Pallas. That is, if he can survive the alien invasion, the ghosts, and the fact that he thinks he might be in love with Minerva.Falling somewhere between Cloud Atlas, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and Westworld, Unfiction is a wild ride through the collision of science fiction, fantasy, thriller, horror and romance. It''s what happens when one writer''s fiction interferes with everyone''s reality.
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 immortalWhen 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.
"Very occasionally, I will pop up in the historical record. Most of the time I''m not at all easy to spot, because most of the time I''m just a guy who does a thing and then disappears again into the background behind someone-or-other who''s busy doing something much more important. But there are a couple of rare occasions when I get a starring role." --Adam the ImmortalAn 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."I am probably not the best source when it comes to who invented what. For a long time I thought I invented the wheel." --Adam the ImmortalThe second book in the Immortal series, Hellenic Immortal follows the continuing adventures of Adam, a sixty-thousand-year-old man with a wry sense of humor, a flair for storytelling, and a knack for staying alive. Hellenic Immortal is a clever blend of history, mythology, sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, mystery and romance. A little something, in other words, for every reader.
"What I was currently doing with my time and money . . . didn''t really deserve anyone else''s attention. If I was feeling romantic about it, I''d call it a quest, but all I was really doing was trying to answer a question I''d been ignoring for a thousand years."In his very long life, Adam had encountered only one person who seemed to share his longevity: the mysterious red-haired woman. She appeared throughout history, usually from a distance, nearly always vanishing before he could speak to her.In his last encounter, she actually did vanish-into thin air, right in front of him. The question was how did she do it? To answer, Adam will have to complete a quest he gave up on a thousand years earlier, for an object that may no longer exist.If he can find it, he might be able to do what the red-haired woman did, and if he can do that, maybe he can find her again and ask her who she is . . . and why she seems to hate him."You are being watched. Move your loved ones to safety . . . trust nobody."But Adam isn''t the only one who wants the red-haired woman. There are other forces at work, and after a warning from one of the few men he trusts, Adam realizes how much danger everyone is in. To save his friends and finish his quest he may be forced to bankrupt himself, call in every favor he can, and ultimately trade the one thing he''d never been able to give up before: his life.From the author of Immortal and Hellenic Immortal comes Immortal at the Edge of the World, the breathtaking conclusion to the best-selling trilogy. Will Adam survive?
"I thought I''d miss the world." --Adam the immortalAdam is on vacation in an island paradise, with nothing to do and plenty of time to do nothing.It''s exactly what he needed: beautiful weather, beautiful girlfriend, plenty of books to read, and alcohol to drink. Most importantly, either nobody on the island knows who he is, or, nobody cares."This probably sounds boring, and maybe it is. It''s possible I have no compass to help determine boring, or maybe I have a different threshold than most people. From my perspective, though, the vast majority of human history has been boring, by which I mean nothing happened, and sure, that can be dull. On the other hand, nothing happening includes nobody trying to kill anybody, and specifically, nobody trying to kill me. That''s the kind of boring a guy can get behind." --Adam the immortalNothing last forever, though, and that includes the opportunity to do nothing. One day, unwelcome visitors arrive in secret, with impossible knowledge of impossible events, and then the impossible things arrive: a new species.It''s all impossible, especially to the immortal man who thought he''d seen all there was to see in the world. Now, Adam is going to have to figure out what''s happening and make things right before he and everyone he loves ends up dead in the hot sun of this island paradise.Immortal and the Island of Impossible Things is the fourth book in Gene Doucette''s acclaimed Immortal novel series, and the start of a new adventure for Adam the immortal man! Catch up on all that''s come before, with Immortal, Hellenic Immortal, Immortal at the Edge of the World, and the novellas in The Immortal Chronicles and Immortal Stories: Eve.
