Another great series by Piers Anthony ( )

Zane is down on his luck and ready to kill himself when he instead kills Death. Fate literally steps in and informs Zane that he is now to take over as Death. The story is very interesting in an alternate Earth where magic and science go hand in hand. ( )

D- This was one of my favorite books in high school. I haven't dared to reread it as an adult, though, as my tastes have changed, and I doubt that I would enjoy the reality of the book nearly as much as my fond memories of it. ( )

This was a neat new take for a fantasy subject & blended some light SF as well. I really enjoyed it, although the series got a bit redundant for me after several books. I did finish & keep the series. I reread it a year or two ago & would recommend it. ( )

On of Piers Anthony's best books, maybe THE best. The concept of this book is fascinating - what if the various powers of the world, such as Time, Death, Nature, were not immortal, but instead were replaced from time to time by mortals? When Evil tries to subvert the whole process, it makes for a great story featuring the first Incarnation, Death, of course. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345305183, Mass Market Paperback)

When Zane shot Death, he learned, too late, that he would have to assume his place, speeding over the world riding his pale horse, and ending the lives of others. Sooner than he would have thought possible, Zane found himself being drawn to Satan's plot. Already the Prince of Evil was forging a trap in which Zane must act to destroy Luna, the woman he loved...unless he could discover the only way out....
The first novel of the INCARNATIONS OF IMMORATLITY series.
