The Long Habit of Living Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Long Habit of Living


In the future, only the super rich can afford to keep back the grim reaper through the stileman process. Some of these "Stileman Immortals" want to take over the world, but first have to kill Dallas Bar and Maria Marconi, who know about their plans. Very fun, good science fiction with lots of fun sci-fi toys and some funny social sideswipes.
