Drat, I can't remember either!  I think it is either John Brunner or
Gordon Dixon, but I wouldn't bet the rent.  (I suppose I'll have to find
my copy of the book if nobody else comes up with the answer.)

Well, yes.  The Piers Anthony "Incarnations of Immortality" series
contains this notion, and is tolerably readable.  Better still is
Saberhagen's "Empire of the East" trilogy and the Books of Swords.
