4.0 out of 5 stars
An endearing *visit* w/Highlander's most charming Immortal..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Highlander: White Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
Though not a literary genius myself, I found this book to be a delightful, albeit short, visit w/one of the Highlander Universe's most endearing and charming Immortals, Hugh Fitzcairn."Fitz", as we've all come to know and love him, plays a pivotal role in this flashback story of the Alaskan Klondike Gold Rush of the 1800s. Together w/his student, Danny O'Donal, Duncan MacLeod and their 2 Siwash guides, Fitz braves the elements (nature as well as man) in an attempt to find that ever elusive dream we call 'gold'.....THE strike...riches beyond man's wildest imagination....... Do they find it? Use your own judgement as you wend your way through this tale of intrique, humor, elements, and desire. I found it to be a most enjoyable read, a true and personable depiction of the characters involved, and a fascinating short-term 'study' on the allure of 'gold fever'. -- Fitz is shown true to that indomitable spirit we saw in HLTS w/added development as 'mentor'.... Duncan is shown in all his honorable sensitivities.... Danny O'Donal, a relatively new Immortal, brings along diversity as well as being the catalyst that helps drive the story along. It is fantasy Highlander. I would recommend it to anyone already caught up in the Highlander world and believe anyone w/little to no experience w/Highlander could enjoy this tale. In short, if you've enjoyed the previous Highlander novels, this is a 'MUST ADD' to your collection!!

One of my fave Highlander tales,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Highlander: White Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
"White Silence" is a stand-alone novel featuring many beloved characters from the _Highlander_ milieu. In this tale, Duncan and Fitz go to the Yukon in search of gold. Surrounded by actual historical personalities, including the publisher of the Seattle newspaper, they experience many adventures (including an avalanche). Long-time fans of the series will recognize the events leading up to the Yukon trek as those in the "Double Eagle" episode. Like the other stand-alone _Highlander_tales, this one is an entertaining read and well worth a look.

utterly beautiful,
By Ichirou Ohgami "stelok" (Manila, Metro Manila Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Highlander: White Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
It is one of my favorite Highlander novels. I'm not sure if it does have historical facts but the story about Fitz and Mac is good. It seems the author is able to capture Mac's and Fitz's character personalities and write details that reflect on their relationship perfectly. Some of the quotes in this book are touching.
