First book in the Incarnations of Immortality series. These books are enjoyable and I would recommend them to any adolescent reader. If you have or know reluctant readers, this series is one I would recommend. I enjoyed this one so much that I read the rest of the series and have recommended them to many friends!

i love this book , it is one of my favorites . The first in the incarnations of immortality series, Zane is going to shoot himself, but at the last second points the trigger at death, and he who kills death must become him. This is a very unique book.

Good book. Hope the rest of the series is this satisfying.

This book is definitely different than my usual Sci=Fi reading. It starts right into the story, no slow lead-in or warm up with this book. The main character lives in a world which is governed more by magic and spells than science. Satan is actively advertising for hell, and "nature" "death" etc. are offices held by mortal who due to fate are placed into those "offices".

Death is a job and he sets out to do it, but he quickly is in over his head and involved in a conspiracy to cheat and beat Satan at his own game.

It is weird, but if you have a good imagination I think you would enjoy this book. I did end up really liking the main character, the idea that death and mother nature and father time etc. really exist was a good one!

Read it, you will like it if you like fantasy/sci-fi. This is not the post-apocalyptic book I was expecting, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

For some reason after I first bought this book, it took me almost two years to read it. I read the back cover and I thought it just sounded... weird. Then I finally read it and realized what a dope I was. Although Anthony's writing isn't the greatest out there, this is a fabulous story with interesting ideas. The rest of the series is good, too, but this one is the most surprising and still my favorite.

I had forgotten how incredible this book is! I began reading it as soon as I opened the package and I couldn't put it down. Now I'm searching for the sequels-- it's a mesmerizing story.

A man kills death then must assume Death's duties while fighting Satan for the woman he loves. You can't get much more interesting than that! There's not any language or "satantic" scenes. Definitely appropriate for high schoolers.

This is a story about the man who murdered death and then had to take over the job! Great Read
