Currrently, I'm beginning to think I've managed to mix-up a bit from Simak's
_Time Is The Simplest Thing_, where the extraterrestrial Blob says to the
hero something like, "Will you swap minds with me?"
So does anyone know if there's an SF novel where the +specific+ phrase,
"mind brother" occurs? Or have I got this wrong? -- I was about to say,
"again", but given my track record, perhaps "as usual" would be more
fitting.
It came up because an intriguing email from a Mad Bulgarian concluded:
" brother in mind"
I was rather touched by being considered a brother-in-mind by someone in
Eastern Europe who was virtually a total stranger.
