Synopsis:
Zac Wilson can’t die.
Daredevil Zac Wilson isn’t the first celebrity to keep a secret from the world, but his might be the most marvelous in history: Zac doesn’t age and injuries can’t kill him. What’s more, he’s part of a close-knit group of others just like him.
Holed up in Harbor Vale, Michigan, Zac meets two more of his kind who claim others in their circle have died. Are their lifetimes finally ending naturally, or is someone targeting them—a predator who knows what they are?
The answers Zac unearths present impossible dilemmas: whom to protect, how to seek justice, how to bring peace to turmoil. His next action could fracture forever the family he longs to unite. Now might be the time to ask for help. . .from God Himself. But Zac’s greatest fear is facing the God he has run from for more than a century.

Review:
If you love the Highlander series, then initially the premise of this book will appeal to you and perk your interest. And there are similarities, in ways, like how they suffer remorse of lose of those they loved and never settle for long in one place. But unlike that series, these others were created by man, with God's help, and not by choice. In some ways, I wish more time had been spent on their back histories and their maker, as it left some holes in the story. Those who like this genre will see other similarities to other books, but what makes this one unique is how God's grace saves Zac's SPIRIT, as it did his body over a century ago. The book creates a sound analogy for readers of his grace saving any of us, and Zac's struggles re very understandable. Teens especially might be drawn to the book, and it would be great for family discussions.
