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.
