Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore
This isn't a horrible book: The prose is deft, with nice turns of phrase; the characters (within limitations) are consistent and coherent; there's even something like a story. Problem is the premise is crap, and I honestly was hoping the main/s would have the courage of their convictions and reject what they were hearing from self-identified voices of the universe what the universe wanted of them. The promised escape from the endless cycle of reincarnation turns out to be a lie.
