Two For Eternity by Carl Alves

evavroslin's review against another edition

It is a thought-provoking novel in many ways, and the story will definitely keep you turning the pages, as well as the explorations into different historical eras. Of course, the natural comparison would be to Highlander, which also sees two immortals locked in an eternal battle to determine who will win The Prize, but at least in that universe once you cut a guy’s head off, that’s it—there’s no coming back. In other words, the parameters of how to achieve a final death on an immortal Highlander are known. Also, there are multiple immortal beings like this when the story starts out (I wondered if the MCs, Vrag and Raiken, were the only ones to ever exist) but the numbers get narrowed down to two for Highlander’s epic battle with the Kurgan, possibly one of the best and most hilarious 80s villains ever ;-)

If you’ve always wanted to find something similar to Highlander in the fantasy section of your local bookshop, give Two for Eternity a try. Fans of exploring historical eras through fiction will also get a kick out of this novel.
