Publisher's summary

The war of the Well World has begun.

Antor Trellig, head of a ruthless interstellar syndicate, has seized a supercomputer with godlike powers that could make him omnipotent. The Council offers master criminal Mavra Chang any reward she desires if she can stop Trellig - and horrible, lingering death if she fails. But neither Trellig nor Mavra has taken the Well World into consideration. Built by the ancient Markovians, the Well World controls the design of the cosmos. When the opponents are drawn across space to the mysterious planet, they find themselves in new, alien bodies and in the middle of a battle where strange races fight desperately - with the control of the entire universe as the prize.

this book was good except it wasn't as good as the first book. and the ending needing book 3 to finish the story line unlike the first one that was in and of itself a stand alone book. and it says you don't need to listen to the first book and you really don't but it does help out with some of the things going on. I believe I didn't like it as much because I liked Nathan Brazil (main character in book one) the most. but still a good book. and glad I listened to it.

I was expecting a longer final chapter, but it is to be expected (carryover to the next book.!!

Just bizarre but...

Great characters in this very imaginative and strange story just make it very entertaining. I’m hooked on the characters Maurva and Obie and just excited to go get the next book to see what happened. The reading and production are excellent also. A great choice for a sci-fi-fantasy fan. Or just as something different to read (listen to).

Still an interesting ride

I’ve read the Midnight at the Well of Souls before this so a lot of the wow factor I feel like is gone because all things seem to lead back there. This was still a good read and would recommend it to anyone looking to get closer to the conclusion. 6/10

Another great adventure!

A great reread from my teenage years. Chalker never disappoints. Perfect character development on display.

Solid Sequel

This sequel doesn't really add anything new to the mix, but it clearly sets the stage for books to come. Overall it was well read and written. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A classic SF masterpiece

Still a great story with breathtaking vision and interesting, we'll developed characters. I enjoyed it as much the second time.

It was like visiting with an old friend

I originally read the series forty years or so ago and really enjoyed them—although my very favorite of his books was “And the Devil Will Drag You Under” (It was not part of this series.).

Great read for science fiction fans.

I liked the narrator and the story has a good plot, but I would read Midnight at the Well of Souls first. It mentions somethings you should know about part of the characters.
