Facts Relating To The Arrest Of Dr. Kalugin

First in a series about the Immortals of Dr. Zeus, Inc., a for-profit company that gives eternal life to mortals and sends them on historic salvage missions. Vasilii Kalugin is an Immortal sent back to 1831, posing as a Russian doctor in a Northern California village, while a salvage operation takes place not far offshore. When another Immortal arrives from The Company as a courier, his unusual behavior leads Kalugin to suspects he is one of the Flawed Ones, who were produced millennia ago, before Dr. Zeus had perfected the immortality process.
