It's a little late, but I do want to encourage anyone who enjoys speculative fiction to grab this one. It's not far enough "out there" to fit most people's definition of "science fiction". The author proposes a form of reincarnation which can be detected through a simple technology. And then builds a captivating suspense novel with just the right mix of noble protagonist, diabolical villain, and budding romance. This book wound up on my "best reads of 2008" list at the end of the year. I understand that the author is writing a sequel and I am looking forward to reading it.
