Four young men (who take turns narrating) explore unpleasant truths about themselves while they quest for immortality in this classic work from the early 1970s by science-fiction grand master Robert Silverberg. Eli, a college student, discovers an ancient, neglected manuscript in the library, and on the strength of his translation, persuades his three equally callow roommates to spend their Easter vacation in Arizona. There, deep in the desert, they hope to find the Brotherhood of the Skulls, a fraternity that promises eternal life to its adherents. Unfortunately, the gift comes with a caveat: of every four applicants to the Brotherhood, two must sacrifice their lives--one must commit suicide, one must be murdered--to gain immortality for the other two.
