Abstract:
"Tom Hazard ... may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries ... Now, he just wants an ordinary life. So Tom moves back his to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher ... Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: Never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present"--Amazon.com.
