Summary

He was immortal, and the woman he loved was dying!

The Master is a benevolent tyrant, the world's sole immortal, whose 1000-year-reign has enabled him to steer humanity from an age of wars and want to a scientific age of peace and plenty. But now, the Master faces his greatest challenge - for, what is the price of immortality, when Lady Ellora, the woman he loves, lies dying? 

Then, Everling, a physician with a lust for power, offers to trade the Master a cure for the secret, planning to betray humanity and make himself dictator. It is a temptation only a God could resist - her precious life against the world's security - and the Master, though he has lived a 1000 years, is still a man. 

While the Master hesitates, it is up to two women to stop Everling: the Lady Ellora, and Tarmo, a naïf from a backwoods planet, who has history's greatest reason for wanting the Master dead!

Not the ending I expected

This is a great portrayal of human nature and the desire to be forever young.... and the consequences. It’s complex, and not everyone lives happily ever after. There are some twists I definitely didn’t see coming, and enough ‘scientific explanation’ to support the story and the world building (without becoming boring) It is very reminiscent of the existential works like L’Enfer c’est Nous Autres. Everyone ends up stuck together in the compound with no viable options. The narrator kept it moving at a good pace with good tone and expression. I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a fair review.
