Product Description:
The Man Who Would Be Satan
Parry was a gifted musician and an apprentice in the arts of White Magic. But his life of sweet promise went disastrously awry following the sudden, violent death of his beloved Jolie.
Led down the twisted path of wickedness and depravity by Lilah the harlot demoness, Parry thrived -- very first as a sorceror, then as a monk, and finally as a feared inquisitor.
But it wasn't until his mortal flame was extinguished that Parry found his true calling -- as the Incarnation of Evil. And, at the gates of Hell, he prepared to wage war on the master himself -- Lucifer, the dark lord -- with dominion over the infernal realms the ultimate prize!

I have no qualms whatsoever with this novel. From beginning to end, I was enthralled with Parry and his journey. The way this book crossed-over into the previous five Incarnation books made the previous efforts worth it. This is going to sound insulting, but Anthony's voice and language best fits the time period in which this book takes place. Yes, the story bridges up to modern days, but Anthony is at his best in this novel. Truly, I wish this were the bookend for the series and not the pitiful "And Eternity." You will cherish this book (and the series if you stop here).
This review should probably contain more praise, but seriously--I can't do this story justice. It deserves every review-star it's gotten.

This is the sixth book in a series of seven. And as with the rest of the series this book can stand alone or be taken and a part of the whole. Piers Anthony has once again written a novel that entraps the reader with the idea of the incarnations as people with faults and the stumblings of life that have followed them. I have been a fan of mister Anthony for some years now and have read the series many times over the years and still I am enchanted each time I read the Incarnations of Immortality. The detail and ideas are ones that can be enjoyed by readers both young and old. The book For Love of Evil puts a new spin on the idea of order of chaos. If you are looking for an adventure then I suggest that you look into the series.

White magician turned, or, baby, Lilith would SO corrupt you too.
Happily minding their own business, a magical family is attacked by violent chr1stian nuts. His father and wife killed, tortured and killed, respectively, he is easy prety for a demoness.
However, he rebels against Lucifer and saves said woman from the head evil dude's final attack. As a consequence, there is an Incarnation opening and rather than have someone much worse take it up, he agrees to do it.
Bit of a problem with this office, though, or, as The Animals ask: "Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."

Throughout the entire series, the main characters of each book try their best to defeat the devil with all his evil influences. And just like all the other books, this regular guy gets thrust into a messed up situation be becoming the incarnation of evil. He tries to make it right but the other incarnations are having none of it. Everyone believes the hype. This book makes all the others coherent. Read this tale! Great book!

"For Love Of Evil" continues the "Incarnations of Immortality" series around the year 1205 as apprentice sorcerer Parry contacts a young village maiden to offer her a brighter future. A touching romance with outstanding character development and plotline organization without the logic-laced discussions and customary vocabulary (historically observed in the Piers Anthony series) presents what the preceding volumes should have accomplished.
Where the earlier stories relate the struggles of the primary Incarnation on the initial acceptance at office, the author addresses the entire career of all the prior novels' nemesis, Satan. After assuming the Office of Evil, the immediate choices and duties of the Incarnation introduces a captivating domain mingled with the previous office holder's intriguing circumstances. The Incarnation of Evil's control over the realm of Hell is blatantly obvious to the position itself as to be laughingly applauded.
Although all of the confrontations have been resolved beforehand to the reader (even if all of the books are considered stand alone), Satan's perspective provides fascinating insight why He made those choices and in retrospect improves the storyline of the weaker tales albeit too late. Satan's rationale to perpetuate evil on Earth might appear improbable nonetheless consistent as the Incarnation of Evil even if well rationalized.
I recommend this series to any fan of the fantasy genre. However those of a highly inflexible religious background or intolerant attitude towards religion might want to avoid the selection.
Thank you.
