Super Reader

Everyone knows MacLeod is a decent, honest, honorable man, even if he does his share of head lopping and violence. Machiavelli, presumably, was a tad more on the pragmatic sword. What if he was an Immortal? He would likely be pretty sneaky. That is the possible scenario spunky Dunky has to face in this book.

One of the best spin-offs

This is one of the best of the spin-off novels that have been written based on the series. It adds depth and more info to the total Duncan MacLeod Highlander legend.

A Good Read For Highlander Fans

Holder succeeds in capturing the spirit of the Highlander television series in this novel, and does so in an enjoyable fashion. She has created a memorable villain, and the glimpses inside the minds of the characters are very well done, as is the "flashback" portion of the novel. The plots within plots within plots are gratifyingly Machiavellian. I did disagree, however, with some of the historical details provided, and the ending struck me as anticlimactic - it was disappointing to see the antagonist fall prey to the hero so easily
