A tale of experiments in prolonging life. Its not as creepy or thrilling as i expected. I've heard good things about the Dr.Nikola character, i hope his other stories are better than this one.

- First words
- It is sad enough at any time for a man to be compelled to confess himself a failure, but I think it will be admitted that it is doubly so at that period of his career when he is still young enough to have some flickering spar... (show all)ks of ambition left, while he is old enough to be able to appreciate at their proper value the overwhelming odds against which he has been battling so long and unsuccessfully.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Then the little vessel passed round the headland, and that was the last we saw of Dr Nikola.
