An interesting read. I enjoyed the idea of mythological forces personified by average human individuals, with average sorts of problems. Death is every person's right! I hope he doesn't go on strike when it's my turn to take the plunge.

Awesome book - my husband is a major fan Piers Anthony and has a large collection of his books. Thanks again so much for the book and for others interested in reading anything by Peirs Anthony you'll not be disappointed. :)

I thought this Piers Anthony series was great. It has been awhile since I have read them, but they really stuck with me over the years. The concept of really people taking on the job of "death", "fate", "god", "the devil", etc is intriguing to me.

Publisher's Note
As the Incarnation of Death, Zane must end the lives of others but then he finds himself being drawn into an evil plot of Satan's, to destroy Luna, the woman he loves.

I don't even usually read this genre, but this book hooked me. It made my top ten ever!

Wau,
better than i imagined.
Cool book. Need to checkout the sequel.

What can one say about Piers Anthony? Been a fave of mine since "Spell for Chameleon," many moons ago. This is another of the "magic in the world" kinda books. Definitely fantasy, with magic an everyday commodity and visible all round you, every day. Some of the spells and powers he puts in his characters are truly inventive and original. Written in 1983, it's still futuristic, even today. Piers writes for everyone, so it's good for teens through adults, I'd say.

This book is great! Anybody can read it, regardless of what genres you usually prefer, I think you will enjoy this read.

This is the first book in the Incarnations of Immortality series, and one of my favorites. I'm not a big fan of the Xanath series, but this one took me away! I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it.

I always love Piers Anthony.

Fun.
