The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson

The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson

Others have written science fiction on the theme of immortality, but in The Boat of a Million Years, Poul Anderson made it his own. Early in human history, certain individuals were born who live on--unaging, undying--through the centuries and millennia. This story follows them over two thousand years, up to our time and beyond--to the promise of utopia and to the challenge of the stars. As time goes on, these unique individuals must learn to cope with--and hide--their true nature. Facing suspicion by the mortals around them, they become wanderers, disconnected even from their families. But hope lies ahead. A milestone in modern science fiction and a New York Times Notable Book when first published in 1989, this is one of a great writer's finest works.
