Dr. Victoria Gottway
has had one passion her entire life: to retard the aging process, and push death's touch ever further from humanity. The spectre of her own mortality drives her to a series of spectacular breakthroughs that completely transform society.
Yet Dr. Gottway desired more than merely staving off the inevitable. And if the key to actual immortality lay beyond her reach, than perhaps was another goal nearly as rewarding: the creation of perfect life...
But a 135 years old, Dr. Gottway's high ideals have become twisted by years of bitterness and misanthropy. She seeks to create a perfect woman, incapable of subservience to any man. When Dr. Gottway's quest for perfection clashes with her hatred of humanity, the ensuing conflagration consumes a lifetime of good deeds.
