Bearing an Hourglass by Piers Anthony

Bearing an Hourglass by Piers Anthony is the second book of the Incarnations of Immortality series and focuses on the Incarnation of Time.

Of all the Incarnations, As a human, I think this would be the most difficult to adjust to. Being the Incarnation of Time means having difficulty having friends even with the other Incarnations as you don’t move in the same direction as them. Imagine living backward while everyone else lives forward. Knowing the future and yet not knowing what happened yesterday for everyone else.

This is a lonely existence indeed. So, how will any person last as the Incarnation of Time?

I still have this paperback, though our copy is quite tattered. If you would like to read this wonderful story by Piers Anthony you can grab a copy at Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover versions.
