Echoes of the Well of Souls by Jack L Chalker

Echoes of the Well of Souls by Jack L Chalker

"A damn fine storyteller . . . Chalker is a master."--Orson Scott Card

For uncounted eons, the Well World had regulated and given order to the universe, and throughout that eternity, Nathan Brazil had been the guardian of the Well of Souls, where the universe's master control lay. Forever wandering and alone, returning to the Well in times of danger, Brazil had destroyed and re-created the cosmos several times over. But even he wearied of his endless watch, and had enlisted the aid of space pilot and high-tech thief Mavra Chang that last time the universal order required resetting.

But now the universe faced a threat more grave than mere destruction. An unnamed and utterly alien entity had somehow been released from its ancient prison and was bent on the corruption of the Well World itself. If successful, it would cause chaos beyond mortal understanding.

The Well World needed Brazil and Chang. But when it found them, would they once again answer the call? And though Brazil was immortal, could even he fight the force threatening the Well? For the force was not of this universe--and it had plans for Nathan Brazil.

Chalker was born on December 17, 1944, in Baltimore, Maryland. He began writing for the amateur science fiction press while still in high school, and in 1960, he founded the Hugo-nominated amateur magazine Mirage. He started Mirage Press a year later, which turned into a prominent specialist publisher of science fiction and fantasy nonfiction and reference books. His debut novel, A Jungle of Stars, was released in 1976, and with the huge success of Midnight at the Well of Souls two years later, he became a full-time novelist. Chalker is a passionate environmentalist who also enjoys traveling, gadgets, and computers.

He's also a well-known science fiction and fantasy lecturer who's given talks at a number of schools and universities. He is a huge fan of steamboats, particularly ferryboats, and has ridden more than 300 of them in the United States and abroad.
