Store of Infinity — Robert Sheckley

In “The Prize of Peril,” everyone lives on . . . because when someone is about to die, the emergency squad is always there to bring that person back -- whether he or she wants it or not.

The seven other stories in this collection are “The Humours,” “Triplication,” “The Minimum Man,” “If the Red Slayer,” “The Store of the Worlds,” “The Gun Without a Bang,” and “The Deaths of Ben Baxter.”
