Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for Highlander fans but perhaps less for others
Review: This tie-in to the Highlander TV series picks up Duncan's involvement with Annie Devlin an immortal Irish terrorist who had appeared in a television episode. Another immortal from Duncan's past, a fellow Scot who is now an actor has sworn revenge on MacLeod. Their story is told in a series of flashbacks and are linked through references to MacBeth, the 'Scottish play'. The story is well-written and while it could be enjoyed by someone unfamiliar with the Highlander premise it would appeal more to a Highlander fan.

Many of the familiar characters from the series appear, Joe Dawson, Richie, Anne Lindsay, and Methos all appear to various degrees. The author has a good grasp of the Highlander universe, the story does NOT contradict anything established in the series and the characters from the series all remain true to their on-screen personalities.

Summary: Skip it
Review: When historical fiction is bad, more often than not, it is _really_ bad. This novel is an example of poor research coupled with a poor writing style. I haven't read any of Roberson's other books, and I'm unlikely to now. If they are anythng like this, I won't waste my time.
