Advantages: Brilliant, Entertaining

Disadvantages: A bit steeped in myth

Piers Anthony's mix of magic and science, Greek myth and modern religion is masterful. Using the vehicle of Chronos, the keeper of time, Anthony takes us on a wonderful journey through time, and one man's journey the battle Satan and accept his destiny. Anthony neatly proves why we cannot go back in time and change our past, while the hero of the story, Norton, struggles to cope with his lost love and his new responsibilities. If you enjoy science fiction, and are of indifferent religion, then this book, and the whole series will change you perception of everything. Wholly recommened.
