The Book of Skulls
Silverberg Robert
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. . . .
