The Boat of a Million Years

By: Poul Anderson

Narrated by: Keith Sellon-Wright

A New York Times Notable Book and Hugo and Nebula Award finalist: This epic chronicle of 10 immortals over the course of history "succeeds admirably" (The New York Times).

The immortals are 10 individuals born in antiquity from various cultures. Immune to disease, able to heal themselves from injuries, they will never die of old age - although they can fall victim to catastrophic wounds. They have walked among mortals for millennia, traveling across the world, trying to understand their special gifts while searching for one another in the hope of finding some meaning in a life that may go on forever.

Following their individual stories over the course of human history and beyond into a richly imagined future, "one of science fiction's most revered writers" (USA Today) weaves a broad tapestry that is "ambitious in scope, meticulous in detail, polished in style" (Library Journal).

Interesting storyline

Great till it got to the end, it felt like it jumped a 100 years into the future without warning.

How slow to develop and tedious to continue!!!

Started slow made a little headway becoming interesting then ran out of gas. The last six hours were grueling. I am now reconsidering the other Poul Anderson books in my library!!!
