Bearing An Hourglass (Incarnations of Immortality, Book 2)
1 journaler for this copy...
While not as good as the first book in the series (none of the other books ever measure up) Bearing An Hourglass is quite an interesting read.
One of the weaker Incarnations of Immortality books, Bearing an Hourglass gets into trouble because of the difficulties of explaining Time's duties. The adventures Norton finds himself get quite confusing, and Satan doesn't come across as evil so much as a cosmic jester, sending Norton on strange little journeys in a B-movie science fiction/fantasy world.

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....
