Since then, a number of things have happened. The reprint was published in September of that year, at which point Gene was once again a hybrid author. In 2018, John Joseph Adams Books (an imprint of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) acquired the rights to The Spaceship Next Door. So well, that in 2016, Gene reacquired the rights to the earlier four novels from the publisher, and re-released them, at which point he wasn’t a hybrid any longer.Īdditional self-published novels followed: Immortal and the Island of Impossible Things (2016) Unfiction (2017) and The Frequency of Aliens (2017). When the novellas proved more lucrative than the novels, Gene tried self-publishing a full novel, The Spaceship Next Door, in 2015. Then, in 2014, Gene started self-publishing novellas that were set in the same universe as the Immortal series, at which point he was a hybrid. From 2010 through 2014, Gene published four full-length novels (Immortal, Hellenic Immortal, Fixer, and Immortal at the Edge of the World) with a small indie publisher. Gene Doucette is a hybrid author, albeit in a somewhat roundabout way. Immortal From Hell is the darkest entry in the Immortal series.


The bad news is, one of his oldest assumptions will turn out to be untrue. The good news is, Adam solved the travel problem a thousand years earlier. That wouldn’t be so terrible, except that whoever it is, they have a great deal of influence, and an abiding interest in ensuring that his death sticks this time around.Īdam and Mirella will have to figure out how to travel halfway across the world in secret, with almost no resources or friends. He went through a lot of trouble to fake that death, but now that he’s back it’s clear someone remains unconvinced. But when Adam-with his extremely capable girlfriend Mirella-tries to retrace Eve’s steps, he discovers a world that’s a whole lot deadlier than he remembered.Īdam is supposed to be dead.

When Adam decides to leave the safety of the island, it’s for a good reason: Eve, the only other immortal on the planet, appears to be dying, and nobody seems to understand why. The good news was, if all life on Earth were felled by a plague, it looked like this one could take me out too. But the threat of a global pandemic kind of sours the whole thing. Not all of Adam’s stories have happy endings
