Erm, lessee
Death: On A Pale Horse
Time: Bearing an hourglass
War: Wielding a Red Sword
Nature: Being A Green Mother
Fate: Weaving A Tangled Skein
Satan: For Love Of Evil
God: ...And Eternity
I *think* I got those titles right.
I must admit, after "Bearing An Hourglass", the other books are a little
repetitive (especially Nature and Fate - by that time, he's simply
re-hashing the same events.) "For Love Of Evil" does that too, but adds
enough story before and after the 'standard' Incarnations Of Immortality
storyline... and "..And Eternity" is a brand new story which wraps the
lot up.
Personally, I'd rank them as:
1) Death
2) Satan
3) God
4) Time (if you *really* must)
The rest, IMHO can be skipped with very little lst from the overall
storyline.
