Transmigration
One man's terrifying journey out of his mind - and into many others!
Fletcher was dying. But it wasn't that simple. His mind refused to follow his body; instead, it moved from brain to brain: young, old, healthy, ill, men, women. But now he found himself in the brain of Charles Searle, the twisted scientist who had altered Fletcher's mind, leaving him a disembodied personality.
Fletcher now shared his brain.
And Searle was dying.

I was really surprised how good this book was. It's like a precursor to "Quantum Leap" where a sadsack dies and ends up leaping from one body to the next. Only instead of displacing the mind inside they sort of cohabitate. After he's helped their lives they end up sending him on his way until his last leap--the leap home, sort of. Recommended.

What if at the moment of death your mind could spring into someone else's body and mind. And into others after that. This book was fascinating, I loved it!

Quirky story about body-swapping. A man who lived a hum-drum, fearful life finds meaning by jumping into the lives of others.
