A little more of an action/drama type than I normally like, but still solid science fiction. An early work of Laumer, his later novels are better ( )

Interesting in that the book manages to transcend the pulp content that I think a lot of Laumer's other books pretty much have perfected. It deals with immortality, memory and instantaneous learning. Many novel and interesting ideas for a sci-fi this old (1963). ( )
