Book description
There lived on Mars, 500,000 years ago, a race so intelligent, so
superior to ours, that they knew the secret of everlasting life. They
chose instead-to have one man come back to life exactly 500,000 years
after his death!
His reappearance in the Galaxy World was enough to set planet against
planet, ideology against ideology, man against man, and life against
death. Raymond F. Jones (1915 - 1994)
Raymond Fisher Jones was born in Utah in 1915 and was a regular
