James Gunn really seems to like one word titles (well two words if you
count "The").  His only book that I've read is "The Immortals", basis of
the TV series.  The series only covered the first 1/3 of the book, where
a mega-millionaire discovers that one individual (and possibly his
relatives) has blood that keeps him immortal (immune to disease and
aging).  The rest of the book carried the idea much further, where all of
medical science and research is directed to the prolongation of life to
the few who can afford it.  He's also done a good anthology series on the
history of science fiction (The Road to Science Fiction, volumes 1 to 4
"From Gilgamesh to Wells", "From Wells to Heinlein", "From Heinlein to
Here" and "From Here to Forever") and a couple of non-fiction science
fiction related books.
