From the Publisher:
The basic premise is that Norton accepts the Office of Chronos (time) and ends up having to fight against Satan to keep the world running properly, and out of Satan's control. He goes on many adventures, including an escapade in space, fighting off aliens; a trip to a fantasy-type place where he fights dragons and evil sorceress', and all sorts of other mini-adventures which lead up to the end fight against Satan and his minions.
One of the most interesting things about this story is that Chronos lives backwards in time, and this is kind of funny. For one, all the conversations that he has while in backwards time are written backwards. I was actually quite happy when this part was finished. Egads - I got so frustrated reading backwards!
Mr. Anthony brings up excellent points about the struggle of good and evil, and what evil really is. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantastical books - something that surely isn't real, but will make you ponder things at the same time. I'd rate it as 14 yrs +, as it does have sexual innuendo (but no graphic sex) and mild cursing.
From the Publisher:
When life seemed pointless to Norton, he accepted the position as the Incarnation of Time, even though it meant living backward from present to past. The other seemingly all-powerful incantations of Immortality--Death, Fate, War, and Nature--made him welcome. Even Satan greeted him with gifts. But he soon discovered that the gifts were cunning traps and he had become enmeshed in a complex scheme of the Evil One to destroy all that was good....This is the second book in Mr. Anthony's Incarnation of Immortality series, following after On a Pale Horse, and does not disappoint.
