The Eternal Man Revives by D.D. Sharp:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"To those who read and enjoyed "The Eternal Man" which appeared in the August, 1929, issue of Science Wonder Stories, we offer a further treat in the present sequel. Mr. Sharp offers so much that is interesting, exciting and yet food for thought that it is difficult to know how to speak of his story. There is no doubt that he points out a new road in science fiction for his stories are witty, yet sad; deep and yet simple, and possessed of a poetry of feeling that cannot help but carry the reader away.

There is no doubt but that most people long for eternal life and fear death more than anything else. Yet as our author so convincingly points out, eternal life might not be altogether a blessing; and, before we can ask for it, we must prove that we are worthy of it. If men, such as the Rulers that Mr. Sharp pictures, were given eternal life certainly they themselves would weary of it, and the people they rule would feel it an intolerable curse. We would like our readers' opinions on this question."
