First of all -thanks for helping me out a couple of days ago.
Now I have a slightly more difficult that has been bothering me......
I'm looking for a book title, possibly by Jack Vance but I could be mistaken. I wish I could give the story in a nutshell but een that is eluding me, so here's some things I do remember:
abandoned spaceship, floating in asteroid field ??), man with amnesia covered in tattoos, trying to recover his life and who tried to destroy it...............I know it isn't much but so far this board has never let me down.
There's also another book I'm looking for;
the only thing I remember is the way of transportation - people 'step' from one to another. The 'stepping' works by making a mental photograph of the place you wish to go to, and then your mind 'steps' through space/time folds to get you there (kind of like the gates in Hyperion but not exactly). I realize that this last one might be pushing my luck, but I thought I might give it a try.........
As usual I thank the teeming millions in advance......
