The tones are mostly dark in the novel because of how the Curch uses the soul transfer technology, so the effect can be indeed terrifying. Thank your for your appreciation. :)

Travelling faster than light and transfer a person's soul into another persons body by process called transference is quite interesting to read. Thanks for your insightful review.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I wonder why the author chose the church to be the antagonist. I can imagine this story with an evil communist-like character but I'm puzzled why it's the church. Sounds a bit too creepy to me. I'm most likely not the right audience for this book. Great job on your review!

I guess B.T. Keaton made that choice because a religious organization made it easier to control a process such as soul transfer among people, without changing the economy as a communist regime would have needed.

Thank your for your appreciation. :)

I see your point. Didn't think about that.

The idea in the book sounds interesting. Transferring a soul from one person to the other seem delusional. Out of curiosity, I might check the book. Thanks for the informative review.

Well, this is science fiction or fantasy, genres that explore ideas that might sound even outrageous. Thank you for your appreciation. :)

Good to hear that the author adressed important issues like misuse of power. Seems a bit dark for me but am sure the intended audience will like it.
Thank you for an insightful review NetMassimo☺.

Indeed there are parts that are very dark, stress by the first-person narration. I understand that it's not for everybody. Thank you for your appreciation. :)

I think it's extremely difficult to come up with a totally new, unseen, or untold theme, but the author seems to do an incredible job of refreshing this general subject through his unique writing style using his original imagination. Also, the title is ingeniously designed. It's interesting how the Church plays a key role in this fictional situation. I hope I have the chance to read this book soon. Thank you for your knowledgable review!

The whole plot development seems the result of long reflections on the subject and its possible consequences. Thank you for your appreciation. :)

Thanks for such a concise review! I'm glad that from it, I was able to learn that the author is not needlessly ghoulish, despite the macabre premise of the book. It annoys me when authors insist on painting a vivid word picture, doubtlessly a red one at that.
The fact that this book also gives one food for thought is what sells it!
