Welcome to the Well World: a construct of an ancient defunct race
known as the Markovians. The Well World acts both as the controller
of and the gateway to 1560 worlds created by the Markovians at the
end of their time. *** Gilgam Zinder finally discovers the secret
to the Markovian Well World but is then forced by the evil
politician and drug dealer, Antor Trelig, to develop a computer
that can control the artificial construct. *** Mavra Chang is a
freighter pilot hired to rescue Zinder's daughter, who has been
kidnapped by Trelig, and to save the worlds populating the
construct from Trelig's malicious plans. In the process, Obie, the
self-aware computer, accidentally causes a whole world to be
automatically transported around the Well World, causing Mavra's
ship to crash on a "non-tech" hex-world. *** As inhabitants of
surrounding hex-worlds start to realize what is going on, they
scramble to collect the pieces of the scattered ship in the hope of
escaping the planet, resulting in a chaotic war between various
races that might lead to the destruction of the Well World itself.

that may be the Antichrist itself.

founding a small press in his early 20s, but it is as a writer that

career: most notably, The Well of Souls series. This omnibus
collects the first volume of that series, MIDNIGHT AT THE WELL OF
SOULS; book one of his Soul Rider series, SPIRITS OF FLUX AND
ANCHOR; and standalone novel, THE IDENTITY MATRIX.
