I guess once again my list is going to be over balanced with all of the Piers Anthony books that I have read. To be honest, on top of these, there are two more series (Apprentice Adept and Bio of a Space Tyrant) that I have also read, and that is not counting the twelve odd books that I read from th...
Nope, couldn't feel the love for this popular first book in the Incarnations series. Terry Pratchett's conception of Death in the Discworld series is funny, thought-provoking, sometimes moving and raises the bar, so maybe most books on this theme will suffer by comparison. Anthony's OaPH struck me a...
In retrospect this book reminds me a little bit of Terry Pratchett's Mort, though On a Pale Horse predates it. The idea of Death as an office rather than an entity was very original at the time and the adventures of the protagonist in this book as a rookie Grim Peaper is a lot of fun. The main diffe...
This book, which in a weird way I find similar to Memnoch the Devil, is another it makes you think book. When Zane goes to kill himself and kills death, he becomes death with all the responsibilities and challenges that come with it. But who is truly good? Are bad things done for a good cause really...

The first part of the story is all about this growth into the role and his understanding of the importance of Death. Then h...
Another favorite read and one I stumbled upon quite by accident while shelving books at B.Dalton's one night! I read the first 5 Incarnations books one after the other and loved the series.
is is the first book out of seven. The first is about Death. The others are War, Fate, Nature, Time, Good and Evil.This book as I said before is focused on Death. It starts with an suicide attempted of Zane. Death comes to claim his soul but Zane instead kills Death. Zane is obliged to assume the of...
Book One of Incarnations of ImmortalityThe story of a 'regular guy,' Zane, who after a run of bad luck, decides to commit suicide - but instead, as Fate would have it, is picked to assume the office of Death. The job comes with any number a perks - a shapechanging Deathhorse, a manor in purgatory, a...
