Summary:

Ben's blood can make a person live forever, and now he's in deadly danger....Featuring all new material, The Immortals is a 1962 science fiction classic about a human fountain of youth updated for the new century. Through a genetic fluke, test driver Ben Richards was born with natural immunities to every known illness. Barring a fatal accident, Ben should live longer than any human has ever lived. But when an elderly billionaire discovers that periodic transfusions of Ben's blood can cure diseases and extend life, the old man becomes obsessed--if he can cage Ben, he has his own personal fountain of youth. Ben escapes his captor and is forced to stay on the run to stay out of the billionaire's grasp. He must find his long-lost brother, who may have the same type of blood--and may also be in grave danger.
