This review is from: The House That Stood Still (Paperback)
A medium sized group of immortal people live on the planet Earth. Only a few people outside the group know of it due to some of the members of the group who brought it out into the open. The group is unaware of the plans of the members who exposed the group. These plans were to take over The House and lead the group. The House has been around since the group was first created. The house keeps the people immortal.

Allison Stephens, a lawyer and agent of the Tannahill estate, is one of the people who found out about the group. He is a mortal. He investigates the group and starts to learn more and more about the history of the group and who they really are. Many of the members in the group become irritated with Stephens learning more about them and so they paid him a few very unfriendly visits. Mistra Lanett, an immortal and sexual partner of Stephens, is very important to the story. She meets up with Stephens many times in the story and gives him a lot of information on the group.

I would recommend this book to science fiction lovers only! The book is a classic science fiction book. The neat thing about this book is that it was written in 1950 and you can get a feel of what people back then thought the future would be like. The book does have its slow parts, and even sometimes makes no sense, but with a killer surprise ending, this book is a must read for science fiction lovers.
