| Annotation |
Jo Stoyle is afraid of death. But Stoyle is also a millionaire, and so he pours his riches into scientific research, desperate to find the secret of immortality. This ruthless quest will enmesh everyone around him in a web of greed, seduction, murder and debasement. Written while he was living in California, this is Huxleys response to Hollywoods superficiality and obsession with youth, a powerful cautionary tale which employs all his customary wit and merciless insight.
