My recollection is wobbling a bit too, but isn't this part of his _normal_ reincarnation routine? Sort of a case of, "If you are reading this, you may already have won the Tournament of Luck and Death! Congratulations! Open the flyleaf to discover your prize-draw numbers."

If I'm wrong, there's an excellent book by one G. Wolfe with very much that device, so perhaps this post will not have been entirely in vain...

Slàn,
