His unique existence is a powerful wildcard for most encounters.While a loner, Max is not alone.

Through eight epic installments, Max must unlock the plans of Seth's puppets, those who are summoned to do Seth's dirty work.Agent Immortal stories strike at the heart of human fears; brainwashing, crumbling belief systems, being different & feared, enslavement, war, the acts of madmen & realizing we are not free but puppets under the control of capricious gods. Our hero has all the foibles to match his abilities. Max has a photographic memory and is obsessive compulsive. He's immortal and yet terrified of pain through PTSD. He's the go-to asset for intelligence services and a general misanthrope. Max is incredibly sociable while longing for solitude. He loves easily and yet fears to love because of loss. Take the plunge into Ghost Keys; you're guaranteed to fall for Max right from the beginning.
