Zealot

Just imagine actually living to witness such events as the fall of Masada. This is a fascinating tale of an Immortal who has done just that. Avram is one of the Zealots! His Jewish faith motivating him to aid his people during Nazi Germany, where he crosses paths with our hero Duncan McLeod. The two of them fight side by side during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Now, imagine this man who has seen his people persecuted for some 1900 + years and try and imagine what he thinks about the turmoil between Israel and Palestine during the late 90's.

This is a very touchy subject and the author does a wonderful job of telling the story from the point of view of all sides involved. Duncan can relate to his friend because he lived through his people's persecution at the hands of the English. But has his dear friend gone too far? And, if so, what must Duncan do about it?

We also get to know another Immortal in this story - Marcus Constantine. Marcus was Avram's teacher, but Marcus wasn't a Zealot. He was on the other side of the wall at Masada.

I couldn't put the book down. This is an exceptional story and the author did a great job in telling it! ( )

This Highlander novel is perhaps a little more complicated, with multiple immortals. A museum caretaker, Methos, MacLeod, and an exhibition of Immortal gear. MacLeod had a sword for him, from one of the K-guys he dealt with in the past.

Both MacLeod and the museum guy, Constantine had encountered a Hebrew immortal named Mordecai in the past, and now he was back in the present.
