The Book of Skulls

The Book of Skulls Title:
The Book of Skulls
Le Livre des Crânes

Author: Robert Silverberg

Year: 1972

Score:

Four students decide to cross the U.S. to find a kind of religious community that is said to have solved the secret of immortality. . . .
According to the information they have gathered, they get eternal life through a ritual involving four people. During this rite, it is said that two of them will be sacrificed, the other two will become immortal. . . .

The chapters are narrated in turn by four characters, presenting their different views and moods.
It's a fairly short novel that seems long enough. . . .

I warn you, the ending is typical Sylverberg: there is none!
