But for all the attention lavished on Lindbergh, one story has remained untold until now: his macabre scientific collaboration with Dr. Alexis Carrel. This oddest of couples--one a brilliant Nobel Prize-winning surgeon turned social engineer, the other a failed dirt farmer turned hero of the skies--joined forces in 1930 driven by a shared and secret dream: to conquer death and attain immortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e, part \u003cem\u003eThe Professor and the Madman\u003c\/em\u003e, and all true, \u003cem\u003eThe Immortalists\u003c\/em\u003e is the remarkable story of how two men of prodigious achievement and equally large character flaws challenged nature's oldest rule, with consequences--personal, professional, and political--that neither man anticipated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David M.
