Publisher's Summary

Now a major motion picture, Infinite, starring Mark Wahlberg.

Haunted by memories of two past lives, a troubled young man stumbles upon a centuries-old secret society of similar individuals and dares to join their ranks. Discovered in an antique store in Rome at the turn of the millennium, The Reincarnationist Papers offers a tantalising glimpse into the Cognomina, a secret society of people who possess total recall of their past lives. 

Evan Michaels struggles with being different, with having the complete memories of two other people who lived sequentially before him. He fights loneliness and believes his ‘condition’ is unique, until he meets Poppy. She recognises his struggle because she has the same ‘condition’, except that she is much older, remembering back seven consecutive lives. But there is something else she must share with Evan - she is a member of a secret society of others like them. They are, in effect, near immortals - compiling experiences and skills over lifetimes into near superhuman abilities that they have used to drive history toward their own agenda on a longer timeline. Through Poppy, Evan is invited into the Cognomina, but he must decide if he can face their tests before entering this new mysterious society as their equal.

Great concept - poor execution

Interesting concept … but too rambling. Multiple side stories that don’t really add value. The literary construct - using footnotes to refer to other authors - is distracting. If the film ‘infinite’ has brought you here, you’ll be disappointed. Not much in common between the two at all.

A deeper book and might first appear

There’s a number of fluffy time travel and reincarnation romances, which are all pretty weak on the whole. This book however is not that type of book it’s a book for people who really want to think about the philosophical and moral implications of seeing spirituality and reincarnation as a science rather than a religion. Thoroughly recommend the book, a little slow at times but it’s very textured and I look forward to this authors next work, I actually hope he does continue the series.

Loved the book hated the movie

If the movie had followed this plot it would have been so much better. The book had so much more realism and connection.
