À propos de cet audio

 No science-fiction/fantasy collection is complete without On a Pale Horse. In this, the first novel of the best-selling Incarnations of Immortality series, Piers Anthony combines a deeply moving examination of the meaning of life and death with a gripping story of romance and loyalty, all set in a world of magic and technical wizardry.©1983 Piers Anthony Jacob (P)1996 Recorded Books Fantastique Épique

In this Piers Anthony story from 1983, hardluck everyman 'Zane' kills the anthropomorphic manifestation of ''Death' during a suicide attempt.. dooming himself to take on the mantle of the ethereal figure. He goes on to explore relationships between the "Eternals" God + Satan, sets up a domicile in Purgatory, reconciles himself with being manipulated to fall in love with 'Luna Kaftan' in a plot to thwart Satan, and meets up with other incarnations like 'Fate' + 'Time' +'War' + 'Nature'.
The plotting is clever & thought-provoking and the vocabulary/prose is creditable.. the book is very enjoyable (although I found the author's lighthearted - almost tongue-in-cheek - approach unpalatable).

As to presentation: Reader George Guidall impresses. He reads a touch too slowly on this project (listen at 1.10X for the most natural listening results).. but his diction, timbre, cadence, tone, and voice-acting are all exemplary.

Altogether, 'On A Pale Horse' was a great 'Plus' find. The 7.5/10-star offering would rate a Credit for anyone willing to invest it.

[Note: the concept of Death only being responsible for mortals without clear Heaven or Hell destinations is strikingly original]

Piers Anthony always has a unique way of looking at things. I am very much drawn to uniue perspectives, as I tend to have rather unique thought processes of my own. Piers has a talent for storyweaving and hard to predict endings. Beware, however, Piers also has a knack for confronting difficult and disturbing situations, and does so unflinchingly. This book can be a trigger point for people who have suffered a variety of traumas. That being said, I still find this to be a beautiful and thought provoking series and one that I refer back to frequently over the years. Finally, I just want to mention that the afterword for this book was interesting and had me laughing frequently. Definitely worth a listen.

Love The Incarnations of Immortality Series!

I found this book entertaining and at times, moving. I became fond of Death, and am planning to continue the series.

Loved the character development.

Read this book in the past, purchased the entire series and reread it again, and now it's in audiobook format and it's still as good

Great book

Fantastic story by Piers Anthony. Happily re listened to this title. Excellent performance by George Guidall.

Extraordinary.

I really had to struggle to push through this one. Bland boring characters and a story so transparent it's easy to see where it's going long before it happens.

Not the greatest.

What a waste of a credit! It's an incomplete series. Why even have it available?

No book 2 or 3
