THE MESSENGER
Richie's found a new teacher: an Immortal who preaches a message of
peace. An Immortal who believes that all Immortals can lay down their
swords and live together as brothers. An Immortal who claims to be the
oldest of their kind still alive: Methos. Will laying down his sword
in the name of peace mean that Richie will lose his head? And what
does this mean for the friend MacLeod already calls Methos?
