Summary: Methos is the coolest immortal
Comment: I really hate to be critical of a book that is centered around my favorite Highlander character, but this book is not that good. Very little time is spent in the present which causes the relationship between Methos and Duncan to seem flat and one dimensional. The flashbacks to ancient Egypt are somewhat interesting but I felt that the characterization of Methos in the past was, for the most part, inaccurate. But if you're a diehard Methos fan, go ahead and read the book anyway. Just don't expect anything spectacular.

Summary: Need more Methos
Comment: A random trip to a museum leads Methos down memory lane to a time in ancient Egypt. In 1500's B.C. Methos travels to Egypt only to discover it is being occupied by a brutal race known as the Hyksos. Methos decides to get the hell out of dodge but he's unwittingly drawn into the fight to rid Egypt of Hyksos rule. His task becomes even more perilous because a Hyksos prince turns out to be an immortal, and a completely insane one at that. Meanwhile, back in present day New York, Methos and Duncan suspect that a killing spree is tied to Methos' past.
This really is a three star book but since I lust after Methos it gets four. The plot isn't really anything special but is interesting enough to keep you reading, even though it's pretty predictable. Methos and Duncan were well written and in character but many of the secondary characters were one dimensional. The writing overall is adequate but the author's tendency to repeat herself and state the obvious got on my nerves after a while. Methos fans will enjoy this book but if you aren't that interested in him, skip it.

Summary: The Captive Audiance
Comment: I at one time was able to read this book I thuroughly enjoyed every page to the point I couldn't put it down if ever given the chance I would pick it up again and read for hours the whole delving into Methos' past in ancient egypt was so much wished for after all a 5,000 year old immortal just doesn't sit around and eat tea and crumpets for all those years.
