Exiles at the Well of Souls


PLANET OF THE DEMIGODS

Antor Trellig, head of a ruthless interstellar syndicate, had seized a super-computer with godlike powers, which could make him omnipotent. The Council offered master criminal Mavra Chang any reward if she stopped Trellig—and horrible lingering death if she failed. Given that choice, Chang set out on Trellig's trail, hoping she could turn the mission to her own profit. But neither Trellig nor Chang had taken the Well World into consideration. ...

Built by the Markovians billions of years ago, when the now-vanished godlike race had unlocked all the secrets of space and time, the Well World controlled the very design of the entire cosmos. Trellig and Chang suddenly were drawn across space to the mysterious planet, to awaken in new alien bodies and find themselves in the middle of a battle where strange races fought desperately, with the control of all the Universe as the prize.
