This has been an interesting thread. I had no idea there were so many books that incorporated variations of this concept!
I think of reincarnation as a religious theology, not so much a sci-fi device. The only book where I've seen the concept incorporated is in the prequels to "The Mists of Avalon", by Marion Zimmer Bradley. But then, this is a basically pagan-oriented series of books. It illustrates a religious perspective on past lives.
I'm interested in the perspective on some of the other books mentioned here.
