Lines: 20 From: BBISHOP%ECLD@ECLA Does anyone know when "With Hourglass in Hand" by Piers Anthony will be out in paperback? (I believe that's the title, or at least close) It's the second of his current series 'Incarnations of Immortality' and about someone who gets the job of Chronos, keeper of time, etc. etc. The first book was about an average Joe in a future world who gets the job of Death and was not bad. It would have been great if he hadn't preached for so long about euthanasia. This seems to be the only serious SF that Anthony wishes to write (do NOT send replies about "BIO OF A SPACE TYRANT" or the Xanth series - I could flame about those for a month and a half) If you like Anthony's stuff at all, do yourself a favor and read "Macroscope" or the Cluster 'trilogy' (it's at four books now, I believe). These blow those punny fantasy potboilers right out of the water. Brian Bishop -------
