The Man Who Could Cheat Death
“His hideous obsession led him to commit ghastly crimes of passion and violence.”
Dr. Bonner plans to live forever through periodic gland transplants from younger, healthier human victims. Bonner looks about 40; he's really 104 years old. But people are starting to get suspicious, and he may not make 200.
