It seems that about a year ago, Dr. Hadron transposed to the Second Level, to study alleged proof of reincarnation which the Akor-Neb people were reported to possess. She went to Gindrabar, on Venus, and transposed to the Second Paratime Level, to a station maintained by Outtime Import & Export Trading Corporation—a zerfa plantation just east of the High Ridge country. There she assumed an identity as the daughter of a planter, and took the name of Dallona of Hadron. Parenthetically, all Akor-Neb family-names are prepositional; family-names were originally place names.

These Paratime stories are usually hard to follow, especially initially, but overall they are really enjoyable. As always, this story tackles a concept (proof of reincarnation) and follows it to an interesting conclusion, especially the impacts that scientific proof has on a society.
Set in the Paratime Police series, this science fiction story delves into another dimension where reincarnation is not a religious ideology, but an objective reality.

How do you kill your enemies, when they keep reincarnating? How would the knowledge of optional, and purposeful, reincarnation change the socio-political landscape of a world? If you forcibly disincarnate someone (the word for to kill, or murder in this short story), what are the ramifications. All
