Ebook description
What if you could bank your money for your next life? Smart-aleck and computer security expert Scott Waverly is skeptical of his new client's claim that they've been tracking souls for almost twenty-six hundred years. Is it a freaky cult, or a sophisticated con job? As Scott saves Soul Identity from an insider attack, he discovers the importance of the bridges connecting people's lives.Tags

Strange but fascinating.
I think the idea of eyes matching century after century is intriguing.
now I'm going to read Soul Intent: I will let you know

I thought Soul Identity had a really great concept. I really enjoyed the idea of a reincarnation company. So, for the most part, I enjoyed the book, except for one thing: Too many cutesy couples! I think at one point there were three happy, sappy couples all in a limo together, all cooing about how in love they were. That was just too much for me.
Please, give yourself as a writer the following challenge for your future books: NO HAPPY COUPLES! In the least, have people fight once in a while. I actually found the couples to be much more unbelievable than the idea of a reincarnation company.
If you work a little bit more on giving your characters depth then it should be easier to have more dynamic relationships. Of course, you don't need really deep characters to write a bestselling book: Dan Brown doesn't have sophisticated characters, his books are interesting because of the history and information. But even The DaVinci Code's Robert Langdon has issues - i.e., his claustrophobia. In his latest book, there is a very understated romance with the lead character. This is a good example of putting in a smattering of it without overwhelming your reader with sweetness.
Let me put it this way: At the end of The Lost Symbol, I wanted the two main characters to get together. At the end of Soul Identity, I was wishing that one of them had left or died. Morbid, I know, but it was just all too easy.
Overall, I think this was a good effort and a page turner. I actually enjoyed this more than stuff I've read from "published" authors. I hope you'll write more...just lay off the romance novels. More sci-fi, more thrills, please. :-)

Very well written with lots of clever technical and computer use by the security expert yet written clearly and simply enough for anyone to understand and not bogged down by it. The story is gripping...I couldn't put it down.
The company Soul Identity is fascinating and the whole concept of passing on wealth and knowledge to future incarnations or people with your soul identity is different.
I like the characters a lot and it was kept interesting by having parts of the story in different locations. A talented writer.

Dennis Batchelder pulls you in right from the beginning of this fascinating tale and captivates you until the final page.
A twisted version of reincarnation may be tough to swallow for many, including me. But believer or not, Soul Identity will grab your interest, entertain you, and maybe, just maybe, get you to consider the viability of its premise.
Protagonist Scott Waverly, a computer security specialist with a quick wit, takes you on an exciting journey filled with suspense, deception, murder, and humor.
Batchelder's writing style is light, witty and fun, making the book difficult to put down. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read more of the authors work.

I realy enjoyed this book. It is a page turner. The premise is new to me and developed well. I liked the characters. After reading it , I had to read " Soul Intent", also good. Not quite as engrossing as the first, but well worth the read.

A good 'investigation' story. The beginning is bloated; the first 75 pages probably could have been written in about 10. But if you push on through that part, you'll find the rest of the book worth the effort.
From the description you might think that the plot delves into the metaphysical or mystical, but it doesn't really. The story is very much grounded in the material world, even if some of the client's members aren't.
There's a hint of deus ex machina in the resolution, but not so much as to be bothersome.

A well written page-turner. An example of why Independent Authors are a GREAT asset. This should especially appeal to people who had been in software or IT - a niche market that mainstream might ignore.
After finishing, I immediately bought the next in the series, Soul Intent.

I actually purchased this from Amazon (wasn't available here at the time). It is a well written thriller. Check it out, I don't think you will be disappointed. If you like this one should slso check out the sequel "Soul Intent". I like Soul Identity best but the sequel was good too.

Whether or not you believe in reincarnation - if you like a high-tech story with believable geeks, plenty of action and the odd philosophical thought, this book is for you.
