Description: 14-year-old Eric, who witnesses a strange confrontation in the city museum between an aged curator and an eerily intense young man, is immediately transported the into an ancient, centuries-old conflict. Alexander, guardian of the secret of immortality, only wants to preserve the past. His nemesis, Coil, will do anything to destroy it. Within the eerie museum, and deep below it in the cityÆs subterranean depths, Eric becomes the pawn in a life-or-death struggle for control over the Live-Forever Machine.
