Publisher Description
Jack Chalker's Well World epic occupies an honored place among the classics of science fiction. Now this boldly imagined, intricately plotted new novel takes us deeper into the Well World than ever before . . .
On the mysterious Well World, the evil tyrant Josich and his dark agents search desperately for the eight scattered pieces of the fabled Straight Gate. Whoever possesses the Gate will wield enormous power, travelling between universes at the speed of light and wreaking havoc across galaxies.
Opposing Josich is a small band of travelers new to the Well World. There is Core, once a machine, now flesh and blood; Ming and Ari, two minds sharing a single body; Jaysu, an angel; and Genghis O'Leary, a lizard being. Unbeknownst to them, they have an unlikely ally: a vengeful entity who is able to clone any person or object with a single touch--and mete out death just as swift . . .

In need of an editor
I just read “The Sea is Full of Stars” and “Ghost of the Well of Souls”. There is the ghost of a good story here, but sadly it was never refined down to it’s core essence. I hoped for more since I am a fan, but it just never feels like there are any stakes for the characters, and there just does not seem to be any mystery. On the other hand there is an interesting set of plots and characters that just needed to be honed into something glorious. For fans, it is a romp through the Well World. I appreciated the ride, but I just felt let down.
