Rating: Summary: This "Highlander" Tale is Sure to Please Review: "The Path" sees Duncan MacLeod interacting with the Dalai Lama as he comes to Seacouver for a visit - and in a previous incarnation when Duncan lived in Mongolia. The primary plot line surrounds (obviously) Duncan's need to find inner peace, and how the Dalai Lama assists on many levels. Fans of the series will enjoy the interaction with many familiar "faces" in the course of the tale.

Rating: Summary: Another thumbs down Review: As a recent convert to the Highlander subculture, I am enjoying catching up on what others have been enjoying for 10 years. I *did not* however enjoy this book. It was what no book of its genre should be -- boring.
Rating: Summary: Neason has earned my respect with this novel. Review: As a student of Tarot (my first of 6 books on the Tarot can be ordered here on Amazon.com - search on Jacqueline Lichtenberg and find NEVER CROSS A PALM WITH SILVER)-- I have studied astrology and various occult disciplines, including some Martial Arts. There are many things I love about HIGHLANDER the tv show, and Neason has captured most of them in this single novel. More, she's done it without any false moves. She handles the core matters of the spiritual disciplines behind The Art with firm authority -- so you hardly notice they're there. That is the mark of the highest level craftsmanship in writing. It's what makes for a 'good read' -- and Neason has delivered that. In addition, she has crafted a novel which embraces my favorite aspects of Duncan's character. Originally, I was attracted to HIGHLANDER because it told the story of a real Action/Adventure Hero who broke all the rules of tv and movies. He maintains committed Relationships with women. Love it. I absolutely love it. Jacqueline Lichtenberg ambrovzeor@aol.com
Rating: Summary: Highlander at its best Review: Better than any other Highlander novel, this story brought me into the fold of the Highlander series. The confusion Duncan was feeling felt so much like what was portrayed by Adrian Paul on the screen. And as a historian, I would have to congradulate the author on her research into Buddhism and Tibet. I know from experience how hard it can be to understand either topic, especially the eight-fold path.

Rating: Summary: Superb Review: It's not only an excellent book but it also became my favorite Highlander novel. Path author Rebecca Neason pitted Macleod against a devout Buddhist in a philosophical debate and had Macleod make a decision. So MacLeod chose to alienate the reincarnation of Buddha in order to save the people of the village from Gupta invaders. But the Buddhist is right about one thing. Life is precious. It's a well-witeen, entertaing and inspirational book.
Rating: Summary: BEST SO FAR IN THE BOOK SERIES! Review: The is the best book I have read in the series. It has everything that you have come to expect of Highlander and Duncan MacLeod. It has the action, drama, romance and a great story.
Rating: Summary: dull, unoriginal, hack work Review: This is one of the worst of the Highlander spin-off novels. To involve the Dalai Lama and...oh, god, a "bloodthirsty immortal." My god, my god... This kind of thing simply should not be done. No, avoid this novel at all cost. ESPECIALLY if you are true fan.
