Transference by B.T. Keaton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Set in the future, this book is set in a world where the human species has evolved. We are able through a complicated scientific process live forever by transferring our consciousness from one body to the next. In essence we have perfected the way to become anyone we want, whenever we want. There is however, one minor obstacle. The technology is controlled by a powerful man called Jovian who also calls himself a prophet. He controls who can use the technology and all of those who are not able to are cast aside. One such rejects is Barrabas Madzimure. But Barrabas is not powerless himself, he is the King of Thieves and as such, he has been sentenced to death. When he claims that he is not actually Barrabas himself, but rather a victim of involuntary transference, the authorities have to figure out what is the truth.
This was a wild ride, couldn’t quite nail down just who is really who until the end. As such, there were some confusing parts in the book, but they were still well written and lent themselves to the storytelling rather than detract from it.
