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 -- 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!

    Parry works against the lord of evil, until his dead wife takes control of a willing, living girl to make love to Parry. Doing so plants a seed of evil in him, because he was now a celibate friar.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020
    The product was received in very good condition and ahead of schedule. The sixth book of the Incarnations of Immortality series is a continuation of the fantasy series. A highly recommended set that delves into these roles that guide human lives and after. The series deals with Time, War, Fate, Death, Mother Nature and continues with Satan and God. I recommend this series as it asks and answers questions each character must deal with in the role. The author has many other excellent series that I enjoy also ... the long running Xanth series is quite a fun and humorous journey in each installment.

    Five stars for content; zero stars for formatting and proofreading. This Kindle edition is riddled with poor formatting and typographical errors. Superfluous line breaks and page breaks are sprinkled throughout like heavy seasoning. Some groups of lines are centered, a few are right-aligned. There are typos that indicate that this ebook was created by scanning a paper copy and using OCR. I don’t think there’s a single page without at least one error. It seems that nobody even glanced at the resulting text before packaging it up and sending it off to Amazon for sale. This complete absence of quality control should be shameful to the publisher and infuriating to the author.

    I find this particularly disappointing because I’m a great fan of this series. This is my third or fourth read-through and the first in 25 years. The poor formatting robbed me of much of my enjoyment. I’ve little doubt a new reader would have given up and demanded a refund. I may still do that myself and seek out a nice paperback copy. I’ve already had to buy a paperback of the next book because it’s inexplicably not available in Kindle.

    All in all, a bittersweet experience.

  • Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015
    Of all the books in the incarnations of immortality series, this one was definitely the most intriguing and probably my favorite of the bunch. This novel provided the opportunity to learn the perspective of the "villian" in the series which is something that I find is not often explored in most novels, at least not to this extent. This exploration gave the series as a whole much more substance and gave the actions in the preceding novels much more context as well. This novel not only developed the devil, but also served to develop the other characters as well by virtue of the context it provided. The change in perspective was both thrilling and rewarding and made this series that much better for it.

  • Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2000
    In the world of what might be the future of mankind, the great showdown between Good and Evil is about to take place. And it is Satan's intention to win. In perhaps the best of his Incarnation works, Piers Anthony has taken the world's oldest Antagonist, Satan (aka Lucifer, Scrotch, the Devil) and turned him into a great Protagonist. One great aspect is that it can be read as part of the series or by itself. It contains enough of the plot of all the work that a novice Anthony reader would not get lost. However, it is not a rehash of what has already been written. Because of the acute difference in viewpoint, it is a completely new story. Anyway, read and enjoy!

    This was one of my favorite books as a kid and stuck with me as something I definitely wanted to read again. Of the Incarnations of Immortality, this and On a Pale Horse are definitely my favorites. A very interesting read that allows you to ponder what evil truly is, what the purpose of life and determining which side you choose to be on, and why God would allow the Devil. High recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Schönes Buch
    Reviewed in Germany on October 4, 2014
    Die ersten 5 Bücher der Reihe gehören zu meinen all-time favourites, aber dass es auch noch Band 6 und 7 gibt habe ich total verpasst (sind ja vor über 20 Jahren erschienen). Also gekauft und im Urlaub verschlungen - und es hat sich gelohnt.

    Die Story ist jetzt nicht wirklich neu, weil die Interaktionen von "Satan" mit den anderen Inkarnationen in den ersten 5 Bänden aus den jeweils gegensätzlichen Blickwinkeln erzählt werden - aber die ganze zusammenhängende Geschichte aus seiner Sichtweise zu lesen hat mir gut gefallen.
