Regency Immortal

Regency Immortal (The Immortal Chronicles 5) by Gene Doucette


Frankly, it is getting to the end of 2022 and I am a couple of books away from setting a 120 book personal best on Goodreads. I'm also bound down in the interminable trench warfare that is involved in reading Aristotle's Metaphysics. So, I'm hitting my mark with a couple of fun short stories.

This is a fun one. Adam is in Vienna in 1814. The “Concert of Vienna” is in full swing as the allies decide how the rest of the 19th century will unfold. Adam runs into a beautiful spy who is after a deadly assassin, who turns out to be a shape-changing rakshasha. The story has all the humor and adventure that we expect from one of Adam's recollections of his 60,000 year old life.
