James Hogan is a prolific, but not incredibly well-known author of some incredible science fiction. My favorite is Code of the Lifemaker, but that's another review. This one hits a little closer to home in today's political and social climate in America.

A non-commissioned  officer wakes up in a hotel room in a city he's never seen before with money, nice clothes, and what is obviously an assassin's set of weapons. He has no recollection of how he got there or where any of the accoutrements came from -- or worse, what he is supposed to do with them or may have already done with them.

A school teacher goes into a doctor's office for a routine treatment for a chronic headache, and wakes up months later across the country and in another man's body.

Add in a secret government installation, a restrictive political climate, and power hungry bureaucrats and something in Demark is getting ripe. This book is a mystery wrapped up on a well-told sci-fi tale. Its a good read when the backlog of classics is running low.
