Product Description
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....

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was suggested to me by a very avid bookworm. I read the whole book in less than two weeks. I could not put it down. The way Anthony develops Zane, and how Zane is thrust into the role of Death by the Magician and Fate, was fantastic. The fact that it presents the Seven Incarnations (Death, Time, Fate, War, Mother Nature, Evil,and of course, Good) as "Offices" and people and not just abstract ideas, was definately something to think aboout. I say it is the best of all the seven books in the series. I still read the novel frequently!

I think this book is one of the best books in the series. One of the other ones that is as good as this one is FOR LOVE OF EVILIt.This book on a pale horse is about the incarnation of death. Thantos the star of the book Zane kills death then becomes death and has to ride around the world(on his pale horse wich i would like to have you will find out why if you read the book) taking the souls of the half evil half good people write at the moment of thier death. He is also teamed up with with the other incarnations (nature,fate,war,and time.) Then he finds himslef in the trap of Saton who has arranged it were Zane himself will have to take her soul. But the only way out is for him to face the lord of evil himslef.

Piers Anthony is one of the most prolific authors of our time and he knows how to do it right every time. From the Xanth series (VERY punny), to the Apprentice Adept books to the Incarnations of Immortality series of which this is one, he continually comes up with fresh, original storylines and great characters. This book is (marginally) my favorite of all of his works, as I don't think I have ever seen the Grim Reaper portrayed more sympathetically or with more humor. What makes this book even more attractive is that it's a VERY easy read. The story just carries you along to the end and you just don't want to put it down. No big words, no extremely complex concepts to comprehend (wow! Alliteration!), just a good old-fashioned read. Most of the books that I read nowadays are very rich in prose and dialogue and plot and words that you have to look up in the dictionary. Piers doesn't inflict that on you, he just tells it like it is and with style. I like that. Makes a good break from my usual reading. I'm sure it will for you, too. Read it, it's good!

Simplistic but enjoyable.
A lot of the thoughts and conversations in this book (and the plot, for that matter) tend towards the simplistic side. But still the book is thoroughly enjoyable. Read more

Opening the door to new horizons
When my brother suggested that I read On A Pale Horse, I was skeptical. The idea of the book never really caught on. I was hooked after the first couple of pages. Read more
