  • "Seeking the immortality promised in an ancient manuscript, The Book of Skulls, four friends, college roommates, go on a spring break trip to Arizona: Eli, the scholar, who found and translated the book; Timothy, scion of an American dynasty, born and bred to lead; Ned, poet and cynic; and Oliver, the brilliant farm boy obsessed with death. Somewhere in the desert lies the House of Skulls, where a mystic brotherhood guards the secret of eternal life. There, the four aspirants will present themselves'and a horrific price will be demanded. For immortality requires sacrifice. Two victims to balance two survivors. One by suicide, one by murder. Now, beneath the gaze of grinning skulls, the terror begins. ... From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
  • "In "The Book of Skulls," four college students are propelled by their curiosity about a strange manuscript into a quest for immortality -- but only two students can emerge from the ritual intact. In "Nightwings," a future society has clearly defined roles -- and when a night watchman is momentarily distracted, the earth is invaded by aliens. He and his friends must journey to a mythic city to stop the invasion. In "Dying Inside," a seemingly downtrodden everyman is capable of projecting his consciousness into other minds and bodies. But his talent is suddenly dying, leaving him more vulnerable than before."@en
