Valjeanne Jeffers creates the wonderful post-apocalyptic paradise of Topaz where the the streets are clean, the citizens are honest, and life is good. Of course with this perfect civilization there are daemons who can't wait to destroy it. In Immortal we are introduced to a cadre of shape-shifting heroes whose daily lives are heavily affected by their fantastical dreamlives.

Immortal is an adeptly written work of speculative fiction.

I found her...more

This book was confusing at times but I managed to finish it. Overall an interesting story.
As the plot unfolded I found it difficult to put down this book. Immortal is a Great Science Fiction (and Fantasy) story.

“Man leave the past in the past. That's where it belongs. The trouble with addicts is that they carry bad memories around with them - like old luggage. And in that luggage that's where they carry their blueprint for living. You got to decide what's worth keeping, and then set the rest of it on the curb for the garbage.
