Pale Horse. Which is incidentally, the book that put the whole reaper concept in place for a certain TV show writer/producer who went on to create Dead Like Me. Piers Anthony is perhaps best known for the Xanth novels, which take place in a magical realm known as Xanth, where puns are the norm and actually often reflect the reality. The books have been around for decades, and it would not be unfavourable to say that Mr Anthony and Mr Pratchett seem to share a similar sense of humour and wit, and a similar type of literature, despite there being obvious differences of style and format to their fantasyworlds. I purchased this book knowing full well the book was about a ...

In this series of books (which consist of seven), Anthony creates a parallel world. This world is roughly similar to our own, it is based on 'Earth' in the very near future, but as well as technology there is the presence of magic. 'Magic' isn't the flash-bang wizard-type magic, but, for example, magic stones and amulets, spells that allow one to prolong life, and in this Anthony tries to create a magic that could exist alongside technological advances. The world created is a world where God and Satan are very real, and lodged in a battle for the souls of the people of earth (I know, some people might consider this a reality, and I don't want to offend ...

Piers Anthony in general

someone forgot to put the last fifty pages in the book, and is intensly frustrating - do they get home? do they solve the energy crisis? We want to know, but we clearly are not going to. This is one of many Piers Anthony books that he had great trouble selling, and frankly I can see why - this sort of book is what makes the normally excellent Anthony something of a gamble as an author. Avoid unless you are a dedicated fan. ...
