Legendary science fiction/fantasy writer Piers Anthony combines fascinating magic with a gripping struggle between good and evil in this most ambitious series. As with the series' other stand-alone novels, Wielding a Red Sword depicts a mere mortal who is called to serve as a god-like incarnation. It is the thrilling story of Mym, an Indian prince who takes up the Red Sword to become Mars, the Incarnation of War. To avoid breaking his betrothal to the princess Rapture and the war that would surely result, Mym accepts the fearsome office. As Mars, he plans to keep Rapture by his side as he stops the suffering caused by Earth's incessant wars. But will Mym's princely training, even his abilities as a berserker, be enough to defeat Satan himself? Piers Anthony weaves together adventure, romance, and Eastern and Western mytholigies to create this charming allegory. Master narrator George Guidall delivers the elegant tale with a dignified tone and much dramatic flair. Also available: On a Pale Horse, Bearing an Hourglass, and With a Tangled Skein.

      George Guidall makes the out-of-the ordinary seem almost ordinary in Book Four of Incarnations of Immortality. The story follows Mym, an Indian prince, through his mortal life into his acceptance of the duties of Mars, the Incarnation of War. Guidall shows the many facets of Mym's character and the strong passions and emotions that he controls through force of character and discipline. Guidall's mastery of timing and subtlety are on display. He provides dimension through his personification of his characters, including the female characters who have ancillary status in this macho world, but whom Guidall presents with respect. J.E.M.
