Trace of Memory

The librarian at my high school introduced me to this book in 9th grade (1977) I was blown away by the creativity of the story. Today, I read the same tattered text (purchased during a library book sale) bound by the library. The story of Foster and his odd memories creates a world familiar yet surreal. Truly one of the best sci fi books I have ever read.

A Trace of Memory

Always been a fan of Keith Laumer but this is one of his best. His books are full of wit and one liners. Hard to believe this book is out of print. I've read every book I could find by Keith Laumer and this is one of his best. I must have read this book 20 times at least. When I go on a short trip and am not reading anything else, i bring this book to re-read. Its full of action and humor. A great story from a great but under rated writer. I wish the science fiction book club would re-issue this book.

Begging for a reprint!

Fabulous book! Worth reading over and over again (I have for 15 years or so). Wonderful imagery and plot. Please someone convince the publisher to do another reissue of this title! I have been trying for over a week to remember the title or the author and finally remembered a few minutes ago only to find out it is out of print. I am willing to drive from Seattle to Portland (to Powell's bookstore!) this Saturday to find a copy. That is how good this book is!

The most action packed into a book that I have ever seen

In my opinion this was Keith Laumer's best work! It is a book of only 2 or 3 hundred pages but he hss packed enough excitement into the story that it seems much longer. The story begins on Earth and crosses intersteller space to another planet with a completely different plot. Great reading. I would love to have a new copy. Please reprint it!!

Excellent - I have sought it forever - PRINT IT AGAIN!

Like others commenting, I read the book in my youth - in a reasonable spanish translation. I have since tried to buy it in english - without luck.Of the very many sci-fi books I have read - this one stands up there with "childhood's end" and "door into summer". What a pity Mr. Laumer chose to head in the Bolo direction - good but ... sought
