Hauser's Memory

Mr. Stodmak combines his medical knowledge with an amazing amount of prognostic speculation. In this one he's dealing with that new, as yet indefinable, substance that is stepbrother to DNA--RNA which could be a path to the disposition of retained memory. This story would give Jung's collective consciousness the shakes because it's about what happens when Hauser's Memory is transmitted to Hillel's brain. Hauser was a German scientist defecting from East Germany and Hillel is an American scientist and a kosher Jew. Despite the overly melodramatic framework, it is a taut suspense story with some very interesting projections.--Kirkus
