Very unusual and entertaining book!

Souls undergo reincarnation ad infinitum living successive life cycles over and over. Even criminal souls, except that criminal souls are reincarnated into Carcer Prison where they inhabit bodies that grow from babies to the age of thirteen. Then, they are killed and forced to recycle over and over again for as long a number of cycles as their sentence decrees.

One criminal, however, has a plan to revenge his wife and family who were killed by a political enemy in a manner that condemned their souls to be lost forever in the void. Now, he has enlisted the aid of other arch criminals and embarked upon a multi-lifetime quest for vengeance. Will his plan work? Of course; his plans always work!

Til Death Do Us Part is, without doubt, the most unusual book I have ever read, with the most unusual characters. The protagonist is a patient master planner with a lust for revenge that must be carried out with infinite patience and planning. Lisa is a lethal femme fatale with a love of the good life and lust for the protagonist. The twins are talented con-men who and work their way into high society and seduce the most difficult mark. Another loves cigarettes, but couldn’t fly an airplane if his life depended on it, and finally, there is a loyal assistant whose multiple talents know no bounds.

For the first few pages, I wondered what kind of book I had committed to read. Then, it became interesting, and then, a fascinating tale that kept me up at night. Readers are not used to thinking in multi-generational leaps, and that puts a slightly new dimension on criminal motivation and strategy requiring a bit of thought.

This is a great story, written with great imagination having great appeal for those readers who lean to science fiction, crime action or even, in a sense, fantasy.
