Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Readers expecting something special from this first hardback Buffy novel won't be disappointed. The regular pairing of Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder has produced an excellent story that pits Buffy against an immortal vampire.

Whenever she is staked, Veronique's personality returns in the body of the next vampire to rise in her vicinity. This immortality is a gift from the Triumvirate, a powerful evil created from the joining of three lesser demons. Veronique has spent centuries trying to bring them into this world, and now she has almost succeeded. Her arrival in Sunnydale triggers a spate of deaths, disappearances and grave robbings as she prepares for the final ritual.

As if this is not enough for Buffy to contend with, her mother is seriously ill, and faces an operation. Angel tries to support her, but his own eternal youth seems to mock her as she faces up not only to the possibility of losing her mother but also to her heightened awareness of the short life expectancy of Slayers. The juxtaposition of these two storylines creates an effective emotional resonance that gives this scary, and in places gruesome, novel depth as well as excitement. --Liz Sourbut --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Product Description

Buffy is pitted against the deadliest of foes: a vampire that can't be killed - not even by the Slayer - a vampire named Veronique.

5.0 out of 5 stars A total thrill from start to bloodcurdling ending!, 23 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I am a huge enthusiast of these two very talented authors, and I am never disappionted by their works. With `Immortal` you are in for a gripping time the moment you turn the pages, All your favourite characters battling towards another Apocolypse, fighting the seemingly unkillable Vampire Veronique who is a most formidable opponent for the Slayer and her friends. The Vampire Veronique serves the pure demon, the Truimvirate and wishes to unleash the demon upon the earth...chaos and battles a plenty ensue. Slayers past and present (and Watchers!) form an integral part of this gripping, if a little gory at times, thrill ride! Highly recommended, you will not be able to put this book down..

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT STORY, 24 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This book took me a while to read through, but in general it was great. It focuses on how Buffy has to cope with her family problems, i.e. her mum and her duty as a slayer. Veronique is a powerful vampire. It would be cool if she was in the TV series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great if somewhat confusing plot + Bravo for CC speaking out, 29 Nov 2002
By J. N. Valente "jnscav" (Evora, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The idea of a Truly immortal vampire is an interesting one and lives up to most of its potentialities. Veronique is like no enemy Buffy and her friends have faced before on account of her uncanny ability to be dusted/staked/whatever and then proceed to inhabit another mortal body.

The gang's all here, even Joyce - who's brief cancer scare is very moving on account of... well, that season 5 episode and that. Angel seems to have been reduced to one of the scoobies, but by now it's fairly clear his love for Buffy and vice-versa is as good as doomed.

As for Charisma Carpenter's reading - Yay! At last someone out of over a dozen main characters on the Buffyverse commited voice to tape. She's spot on... well on Cordelia, obviously. But also excellent on Xander, good on Willow, Joyce, Buffy and all the Vamps. Least said about Giles...

Still, extremely entertaining if you're into this sort of thing!
