"A riveting historical supernatural thriller full of endearing characters that readers will remember for a long time!” — The Great Reads *Top 500 Reviewer*

An immortal healer. An ancient empire reborn. A chain of cataclysmic events that threatens to change the fate of the world.

Retired Bastian covert operative Conrad Greene has but one wish left. To live out the rest of eternity away from Immortals and humans alike. But when a plane crashes into the Amazonian swamp where he has been hiding for half a century, the jaded immortal healer who was once the greatest asset of the Bastian First Council stumbles across a conspiracy involving the newly elected President of the United States. Caught in the middle of the intrigue is Bastian intelligence operative Laura Hartwell, the one immortal on Earth most likely to put a bullet through Conrad’s skull.

Coerced into returning to the life he had left behind, Conrad reluctantly agrees to assist the American government with their investigation. But as disturbing events start to unfold around the globe, Conrad and his team of elite human and Immortal agents find themselves facing an elusive organization hellbent on shifting the power balance of the world.

As chaos descends on Western societies and an old empire rises once more, can Conrad stop the deadly countdown that threatens to alter the course of human history and regain the trust of the woman he loves?

Empire is the third book in AD Starrling’s bestselling supernatural thriller series Seventeen. This is a fast-paced urban fantasy adventure featuring Immortals, non-stop globe-trotting action, and an explosive storyline.

*Previously published as Greene's Calling*

This was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end !!!
Conrad is an immortal who has been through a Lot, and left it all for some quite tranquility in the Amazon. He is notoriously known there , by the local police and a few neighbors , mostly for his ability to not age.
After a freakish accident , Conrad is thrust back into the world he left. Mainly , because of his ex girlfriend.
Laura Hartwell, has found her niche. She i s currently working for the President of the USA , in a secret service capacity. The absolute LAST thing she needs is her ex unexpectedly showing up after Years !!!!
But when he does, things Really start to go Crazy !!!!
This book was just as exciting as the previous two, and the ancestry of the immortal race becomes even clearer!!! I loved the characters, and how the story bobs and weaves and moves forward !!! And seeing old friends is Always wonderful !!! Excited to read the next in this series !!!!

A slowly developing gathering of the clan is emerging; the overall tone of these stories is one of optimism despite the dire, dread machinations of forces aligned against the existing world order.

Another great installment in the Seventeen series. Think Angel has Fallen with immortals at the helm of the action. Also excellent description. Sometimes a bit technical so not a book to inhale if you want to get everything that's happening. Looking forward to the next adventure in the series.

New Immortals, new super villains. Great third story in the Seventeen series, this one about Conrad Green, a Bastian recluse living in the Amazon who is forced back to civilisation when a plane crashes into his home. Espionage and intrigue follow across the globe as the baddies always seem to be one step ahead.
