The Man Who Sold the World is a science fiction thriller based on historical facts, the Bible, and folklore mixed with the author's interpretation of the David Bowie song by the same title. It follows the immortal life of Eli Sasar throughout history, starting with the French Revolution, the Potato Famine, immigration to America , the American Civil War, the Great Depression, World War II, and the Camelot era of JFK. Throughout his journey, Eli is often taunted by his evil counterpart, Rex, for the surrender of his beloved omophorion. Realizing that Eli's spirit is stronger than evil itself, Rex changes strategies and attacks Eli through the advancement and technological conveniences developed by his fellow man. Eli's struggle with immortality becomes unbearable with the advancements in human technology, particularly photography and record keeping that force Eli to change his identity on a much more frequent basis than ever before. Adopting the name Henry Hauser after an encounter in World War II, the struggle reaches its zenith as his true identity is nearly discovered by an old friend. Following the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963 he realizes he can no longer endure or evade human technology and finally surrenders the omophorion to Rex. Its surrender marks the end of immortality and the beginning of the end, as he now begins to age. Now, in present day, he is 94 years old and nearing the end of his life. As the immortal prepares for death, he reflects on his centuries of life, rewinding through his memories until he is returned to where it all began.
