Scotland the Brave---Jennifer Roberson
McLeod is drawn into a conspiracy of Immortals on a militant quest to win back the independence that Scotland lost, centuries ago, at Culloden. For her own reasons, Immortal Annie Devlin has already answered the ancient call of the clans. But if Duncan follows, he risks being drawn into a web of obsession, madness and murder. For the Immortal who is masterminding the campaign will be satisfied with nothing less than Duncan McLeod's heart and soul...and undying loyalty.
Scimitar---Ashley McConnell
For centuries the legendary sword has brought death and the Quickening. A blade forged to steal the blood of princes and Immortals, the Scimitar has haunted Duncan McLeod as it has haunted history, from slave markets of the Barbary pirates to Lawrence of Arabia's war against the Turks...
Now the sword has mysteriously been delivered into Joe Dawson's hands. With it comes instructions that tell Dawson-a member of the Watchers, the secret society of mortals who have observed Immortals through history-to give the scimitar to Duncan McLeod. Is the scimitar meant as a challenge, a warning, or a salute across the centuries from one Immortal to another?
Measure of a Man---Nancy Holder
Niccolo Machiavelli was history's greatest manipulator, whose only morality was "might makes right." He played princes against kings, controlling all by lies and corrupted love. What if such a man were Immortal?...In Venice, 1655, McLeod tested his wit and his honor against Machiavelli and learned that his opponent would stop at no betrayal to achieve his ends. Now Machiavelli has plans to dominate the entire mortal world. Then why has the Prince of Lies dared the Highlander to stop him?
The Element of Fire---Jason Henderson
Centuries ago, the Immortal pirate Khordas vowed to destroy McLeod. Evil and insane, Khordas delights in burning his victims inside their homes and ships, while he loots the pyres from which he alone can emerge.
Nantucket, 1897: Now on an anniversary of blood, this undying monster springs an infernal trap around the Highlander. But the pirate doesn't want merely to kill McLeod. Unless stopped, Khordas will sear to cinders everything-and everyone- the Highlander holds dear...
Zealot---Donna Lettow
The Hebrew warrior Avram Mordecai has defended his people since the Roman siege of Masada, through 2000 years of Diaspora, ghettos, pogroms, and the Holocaust. And McLeod has fought beside him, saving Jews from the Nazis in World War II. Now the Highlander is protecting a beautiful Palestinian diplomat at peace talks that the Zealot has vowed to disrupt by any means-including murder...
Shadow of Obsession---Rebecca Neason
Once the Immortal Darius was a brutal warrior and the terror of Europe. Then outside the gates of Paris, a transformation took place, and Darius became a saintly man of peace. His teachings touched many lives-including the Highlander's. Now, to honor his friend's memory, McLeod protects Victor Paulus, a mortal who carries on Darius' legacy. But Darius left another legacy-a thwarted ex-lover who spent centuries plotting against Darius, who has sworn to destroy anyone he called a friend. Starting with Victor Paulus and Duncan McLeod...
The Path---Rebecca Neason
It is said the Dalai Lama is immortal, in his own way: repeatedly reincarnated with his memories of past lives intact. Will the current incarnation of the Dalai Lama remember the Duncan McLeod he met in 1781? And will he greet him as a friend-or as an enemy?
In 1781 Duncan McLeod was a weary traveler trying to escape the memory of too many European battlefields. Reaching Tibet's holy city of Lhasa, he found peace in a woman's love, an ancient land's eternal wisdom, and friendship with the Dalai Lama. Until a bloodthirsty Immortal turned his unstoppable army toward Tibet...and the head of the Highlander.
The Captive Soul---Josepha Sherman
Over three thousand years ago, Methos helped the Egyptian pharaohs in their battle against sadistic Hyksos overlords. Then he fought Khyan, an Immortal Hyksos prince, but failed to take his head. Now a deadly madman stalks modern New York City, hunting an ancient sword, killing all who stand in his way. It can only be Khyan, seeking revenge. If Methos does not destroy this darkness from his past, he, Duncan McLeod and indeed all Immortals will be doomed...
White Silence---Ginjer Buchanan
Three Immortals-McLeod, his old friend Hugh Fitzcairn and Fitz's student, young Danny O'Donal-trek to the Yukon, seeking glory, gold, and the Northern Lights. But in the raging blizzards of the far north, the quest becomes a nightmare. For even Immortals can starve, freeze and go mad, trapped in a frozen hell where implacable nature can kill the Highlander or his companions-again, and again, and again...
