    About this ebook

    Dr. Marsteller is a prominent anti-aging researcher at Garret University. His research hasn't been relevant in years and his benefactor, Charlotte Manifred Viscane, is threatening to pull her funding. Although nearing her 70s, Viscane engages in ritual plastic surgery to grotesque levels, terrified of looking and becoming old. Now fueled by desperation and buyer's remorse on empty promises of eternal life in Dr. Marsteller's lab, she turns up the pressure for an aging cure. Read how this modern Ponce de León convinces everyone the fountain of youth is real. You can live forever.

    Andrew Koob is the author of The Root of Thought. He is from Cascade, Iowa.

      Nov 18, 2021

      The first time I saw my mother’s naturally grey hair, I cried. She was 37, the age I turned this year, and she had decided with a little defiant relish – the way my mother decides everything – to simply stop dyeing it. It had come hot on the heels of
