Love Among the Immortals: An Immortal Love Story

Love Among the Immortals New York Times reporter Mike Goodman wants to interview billionaire mega investor Jacob Man. When finally he gets his chance, Goodman gets an earful. Man tells Goodman he is an Immortal who has been alive in his most recent incarnation since the French Revolution. So who, exactly, are these Immortals? They are, of course, souls who live forever. They are the 666 Fallen Angels who broke from God after God had the audacity to revoke their ability to procreate. And now for centuries the Immortals have battled God and his dream of creating a peaceful, harmonious planet. Whereas God desires love, beauty, and tranquility, the Immortals seek war, pestilence, and chaos. Love Among the Immortals is a strange and amusing tale filled with wonder and love. Three separate love stories swim through these pages, all with their own trials and tribulations, highs and lows, conflicts and resolutions. There is also power and politics, as one of the wealthiest Immortals on earth runs for President of the United States. Rex Blackman, The Black Cat, who imports illegal immigrants onto his New Mexico ranch, then hunts them for sport, has secured the nomination and is knocking on the White House door. Love Among the Immortals is at once alarming and a hoot. You blow off the Audacious Insanity of the premise one page and Fret it may all be Feasible on the next. Anyone who believes in God might be convinced of the existence of Immortals. Tongue in cheek? Maybe, but not so long ago what open-minded, clear-thinking person would’ve dreamed we’d be in this peculiar pickle?

About the Author

While still just a lad, Thomas William Simpson was abducted by aliens and taken to a distant galaxy where they temporarily removed his brain and replaced it with an old-fashion Hoover vacuum cleaner that allowed him to suck up an enormous amount of worthless details and annoying minutiae about a great many things. Some years later, this vacuum cleaner experience came in handy when Simpson decided it would be challenging, and great good fun, to be a novelist as a novelist, among other things, is a curious individual who knows a little bit about a lot of different stuff. In his novel Love Among the Immortals, Simpson delves into several themes that have long held his interest--love, power, politics, aging, wisdom, humor, and the sheer mystery of life itself. If you are a fan of Simpson's work, Love Among the Immortals will hopefully both surprise and delight you.
