In The Path, published to tie-in with the fantasy adventure TV series Highlander, Scottish warrior Duncan McLeod meets the current Dalai Lama after having departed Tibet in 1781. He has to know whether the Dalai Lama remembers him or not.
Better than any other Highlander novel, this story brought me into the fold of the Highlander series. The confusion Duncan was feeling felt so much like what was portrayed by Adrian Paul on the screen. And as a historian, I would have to congradulate the author on her research into Buddhism and Tibet. I know from experience how hard it can be to understand either topic, especially the eight-fold path.
Superb

It's not only an excellent book but it also became my favorite Highlander novel. Path author Rebecca Neason pitted Macleod against a devout Buddhist in a philosophical debate and had Macleod make a decision.So MacLeod chose to alienate the reincarnation of Buddha in order to save the people of the village from Gupta invaders.But the Buddhist is right about one thing. Life is precious.It's a well-witeen, entertaing and inspirational book.
BEST SO FAR IN THE BOOK SERIES!

This was the best of the series so far. You really felt like you visiting Tibet and can learn a lot about their culture. Duncan's character also grows a lot and faces some difficult decisions. Enjoy.
