About This Book
When life seems pointless to Norton, he accepts the position of Incarnation of Time. With the other incarnations—Death, Fate, War, and Nature already distracting him, Satan springs a cunning trap. Science fiction/fantasy legend Piers Anthony combines a gripping plot with a serious and thought-providing study of good and evil.
