Golden and Holder, who've done seven ''Buffy'' books together, smartly expand upon the show's slangy lingo (e.g., ''What's the haps?'' for ''What's happening?''). They also display deep insight into the characters, shading Seth Green's taciturn Oz thusly: ''Just as the Eskimos had dozens of ways to say 'snow,' a simple 'Hey' from Oz could carry a greatly varied array of meanings.'' ''Immortal'''s only real flaw is its overreliance on lengthy flashbacks to Veronique's previous lives in 6th-century Constantinople, 14th-century Paris, etc. What is this -- ''Buffy'' or ''Quantum Leap''?
