The Immortal

Ben Richards, a 42-year-old test pilot for a major corporation, appears remarkably youthful, barely aging beyond 25. He's never been ill a day in his life. His world is upended when he donates blood. Medical tests reveal his O-negative blood holds every known antibody and immunity, making him biologically immortal and nearly invincible to accidental death. When dying billionaire Jordan Braddock receives a transfusion of Richards' blood and is revived, Braddock becomes determined to control Richards' life to secure a steady supply of the life-saving blood.
