On a distant world, two men search for a cure for old age among humanoids immune
to the deterioration of time.
Gereint,
a biologist, haunted by the death of his fiancé, searches obsessively to find
the cause of death, and to remedy nature’s mistake. Accompanied by Marti, a
disgraced soldier, Gereint follows the legend of an immortality machine to an
alien city. They find humanoids who are immune to suffering, and who have lost
all sense of time, memory or themselves as separate entities. Their technology
is a subtle art form, not a tool for saving time. Gereint’s search leads him
to Ahranrod, a long-lived woman and master of alien martial arts. She reveals to
him how death arose among humans, but refuses his demands for the immortality
machine. Marti encounters Zusi, an android programmed to awaken passion, and who
offers him immortality. Desiring only a noble death, he rejects her. Immortality Machine is available at: Read Excerpt You will need Acrobat Reader 5.0 to view excerpt |
