SOLVED. Adult science fiction body jumping or switching. [s]

[Richelle]

Trying to find a book or series I read around the summer of 1986. I remember the main character was a male who had the ability to jump into other people's bodies. I can't remember if it was voluntary or involuntary. The point that stands out for me is that at some point he occupied the body of a 12 to 14 year old girl who was either Asian or maybe Native Alaskan. I remember something about him being on a ferry boat perhaps in Alaskan waters. I feel like it was a series of three to four books, or a novel that was broken up into that many parts, with him occupying different people in each part.

Sounds interesting! Were the other characters aware that the man had taken over their bodies at the time?

Have you tried this list?

I don't believe the other characters were aware. it seems like the original personality was either dormant our absent. I'll check out your link.

Richelle, is there time travel?

[Richelle]

No time travel that I recall.

Any chance it could have been the books based on the TV series Quantum Leap? There's a list of them here: http://quantumleap.wikia.com/wiki/Books

They were early 90s rather than 80s though.

no chance

Great! Glad you found your book, Richelle. I clicked "edit" beside the topic header (on the desktop website) to move your request to a Solved folder.
