Rich Living

A sardonic 1950s sci-fi gem about what we're willing to do to escape time itself. Curtis Delman, a hundred-year-old lawyer with money to burn, has booked passage to Rejuvenal, a distant world where the wealthy go to shed decades and start fresh. But the journey matters more than the destination. Among his fellow passengers, a motley of desperate, ambitious, and damaged souls, Delman encounters something far more unsettling than alien vistas: the ugly truth about why people chase eternal youth. When disaster strands them in the void, survival becomes secondary to the real confrontation: what have they all been running from, and what would they actually be running toward? Cathal writes with sharp wit about the lengths we'll go to avoid our own mortality, while quietly asking whether endless youth is the prize we imagine or just another prison. This is mid-century SF at its smartest: ideas about class, technology, and greed wrapped in a page-turner that leaves you wondering about your own relationship with time.
