I haven't ever heard of "Re-Birth," but I read a novel by Mr. ? McIntosh, "Flight from Rebirth." I liked it enough to reread it once. It seems to be an expansion of a story in one of Issac Asimov's Hugo Winners anthologies. Suppose you could be reborn as a young child if you were valuable enough to society. What if you DIDN'T want to be reborn, but society insisted that you did? That's what one man is trying to escape. Any similarities with the Wyndham novel? ------

under the title "The Chrysalids". Quite a good novel under either name.
