Gene Doucette

 
Overview

“If you’ve been around for long enough, you’re bound to experience a few unpleasant things: fires, earthquakes, avalanches, volcanoes, sometimes all on the same afternoon. Boats, I can tell you from first-hand experience, sink. A lot. Sometimes it’s because whoever made the boat for you made a crappy boat. Maybe you made a crappy boat. There is also the occasional psychotically malevolent storm that doesn’t care how well designed your boat is. When you encounter something like that, and the thing you were relying upon to keep you alive ends up sinking, you really want to know you’re not too far from the safety of solid ground.

Oh, and here’s another thing to worry about when you’re in a boat: sea serpents.”
—Adam the immortal

Adam’s adventures on the high seas have taken him from the Mediterranean to the Barbary Coast, and if there’s one thing he learned, it’s that maybe the sea is trying to tell him to stay on dry land.

Praise

“This short story is a welcome addition to the adventures (or misadventures) of Adam, an approximately 60,000 year old immortal man. If you HAVEN’T read the novels about Adam, Immortal and Hellenic Immortal, you can start with reading this short story without being lost. And it will likely make you want to read those longer works. If you HAVE read the two novels, this stand-alone story won’t disappoint.”
—Amazon reviewer

“As usual, Gene Doucette never lets me down. Since the very first book, Adam – The Immortal has been one of my favorite characters to follow and I am thrilled to learn that ‘Immortal At Sea’ is the start to a longer series.”
