James Gunn really seems to like one word titles (well two words if you
count "The").  His only book that I've read is "The Immortals", basis of
the TV series.  The series only covered the first 1/3 of the book, where a
mega-millionaire discovers that one individual (and possibly his relatives)
has blood that keeps him immortal (immune to disease and aging).  The rest
of the book carried the idea much further, where all of medical sciende and
research is directed to the prolongation of life to the few who can afford
it.  He's also done a good anthology series on the history of science
fiction (The Road to Science Fiction, volumes 1 to 4 "From Gilgamesh to
Wells", "From Wells to Heinlein", "From Heinlein to Here" and "From Here to
Forever") and a couple of non-fiction science fiction realated books.
