Series
From a Flyer
A new Highlander novel offering an alternative resolution to the fifth season cliffhanger Archangel and the aired sixth season episodes. Richie Ryan is dead at the hands of his best friend and mentor, Duncan MacLeod. Horrified at what he has done and believing he is pursued by an ancient demon known as Ahriman, MacLeod flees Paris to seek help from old friends in Cornwall. Joe Dawson, Cassandra, and Methos soon follow and the pursuit of who-or what-Ahriman truly is soon involves many of MacLeod's friends in a desperate race from Cornwall to Scotland to Wales. Along the way, Methos must confront more specters from his past, MacLeod learns a few lessons, Joe has a new friendship which is deepening, and Cassandra must learn to deal with a Methos who is, in many ways, different from the man she once knew. Flashbacks take our heroes from ancient Egypt to ancient Babylonia and to Barcelona, Spain along the way. Then the Night Comes is rated PG with no overt sex, either straight or slash. Approximately 145,000 words, 194 pages. Final Price: $20.00, postage included. [1]
Reactions and Reviews
Cassandra stories seem to fall into one of two categories. Either she's a psychotic bitch driven over the edge by the events of CaH/Rev who takes her madness out on either Mac or Methos until one of them finally puts her down like the dog she is, or she's this virgin-priestess-goddess all-powerful-all-knowing wise-woman. I don't really buy either one, though I have fewer problems with the former since they're usually chock full of angst. :-)
I actually don't much care for the character, but if I had to choose, I'd say my favorite version of Cassandra is in the 'zines Then the Night Comes, The Lightning's Hand, and Touched by Magic written by Ann Wortham & Leah Rosenthal. I picked the first two up at MediaWest con and liked 'em enough to get dragged back into Highlander after 3+ years out (and lordy, was there alot of fiction written during that time!!). [2]
