"Gore Vidal's 1968 novel was the beginning of Myra mania. With no advance publicity the highly satirical story of a man-hatiNg transsexual quickly became a sensational Bestseller. Those who understood it were amused; those who dIdn't were shocked. On the surface Myra Breckinridge is an outrageous story about a man-hating transsexual. At its core however Myra is sophisticated satire with Hollywood as the vehicle for making fun of just about every American convention." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Boston Little Brown, hardcover

This is Book Two of Six. The Incarnation of Death has a lot to learn from original sin to suicide. Along the way he's breaking a lot of rules. Can Death be bribed by the love of a beautiful woman Book Two: "Magician" continues the story of Zane the new "Death" as he tried to figure out what his duties actually entail --and balks at most of the established rules. Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob born 6 August 1934 is an American author in the science fiction and fantasy genres publishing under the name Piers Anthony. He is best known for his long-running novel series set in the fictional realm of Xanth. Many of his books have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list and he claims one of his greatest achievements has been to publish a book beginning with every letter of the alphabet from Anthonology to Zombie Lover. In 1957 Anthony decided to join the United States Army as his wife was now pregnant and they needed both medical coverage and a steady source of income. During his two-year enlistment he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1958 and became an editor and cartoonist for his battalion's newspaper. After completing military service he briefly taught school at Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg Florida before deciding to try to become a full-time writer. Incarnations of Immortality is the name of an eight-book fantasy series by Piers Anthony. The books each focus on one of eight supernatural "offices" Death Time Fate War Nature Evil Good and Night in a fictional reality and history parallel to ours with the exception that society has advanced both magic and modern technology. The series covers the adventures and struggles of a group of humans called "Incarnations" who hold these supernatural positions for a certain time. The title alludes to William Wordsworth's 1804 poem Ode: Intimations of Immortality. Incarnations uses its premise to ponder questions regarding the nature of life. As each character goes from a mortal life to the "office" of an Incarnation they are forced to contemplate their actions on a daily basis. Each Incarnation may use their office within limits as they see fit. This system humanizes what would otherwise be impersonal forces leading to both extensive considerations of the effects of the incarnation's work and the impact it has on not only humanity but also the other offices of immortality as well. Another humorous side of Incarnations is the portrayed magic/technology duality. Most series emphasize one or the other means of understanding and manipulating the world but in Incarnations each method is equal in usefulness and respect. This leads to a number of amusing parallels such as competition between automobile and magic-carpet manufacturers. By the future time period of Norton magic is referred to as the Fifth Fundamental Force with its own primary particle the Magician similar to a graviton. A few other series have used the technology/magic combined motif notably Apprentice Adept another series by Piers Anthony and Four Lords of the Diamond by Jack Chalker although that book had an actual technological basis for the explanation of its magic in contrast to Piers Anthony's work. Anthony uses the number five extensively. The five Incarnations are associated with the five elements Death with Earth Fate with Water War with Fire Nature with Air and Time with Void and often other items with fives the previously mentioned Book of Five Rings. There are five fundamental interactions magic being the fifth. The Llano consists of five songs. In On a Pale Horse Gaea teaches Zane five patterns of thought each represented by diagrams of five short lines. A fourth theme of Incarnations is the multigenerational human story between the Incarnations. Previous characters repeatedly appear in later novels and by the final novel every major character is related by blood marriage or affair. The Showtime series Dead Like Me was inspired by the book On a Pale Horse. Innovation Books paperback
