Quest for the Well of Souls

Saga of the Well World, Book 3

By: Jack L. Chalker

Narrated by: Peter Macon

Mavra Chang was once a master criminal, notorious throughout the galaxy. But for 11 long years she has been trapped in a nonhuman body on the Well World - the master control planet for the universe, where untold numbers of strange races exist, separated by barriers erected by the mysterious, vanished race that built the Well World billions of years ago.

Orbiting the planet is a planetoid concealing Obie, a supercomputer that could restore Mavra Chang to her original form - if she can reach it. Unfortunately, the only spaceship on the planet is hidden in the northern hemisphere, a place no living creature can survive. She soon learns that her enemies are plotting to eliminate her, steal the ship, and escape from the Well World…. But many others have planned her demise before, and Mavra Chang is still alive and well - which is more than can be said of those who once wished her ill.

Great series

I read these books in 1980 and loved them. I still love them 41 years later. They held up very well over time.

Suspenseful

This story in three books was outstanding. I'm ready for the next instalment. hopefully there just as good!

When Everything Goes Wrong ...

Reread after many years.

This completes the story begun in Exiles of the Well of Souls. what starts as a reasonably straightforward adventure turns into a comedy of errors, but one where the slapstick just isn't funny. everything that can go wrong, does, at the worst possible moment. Couple of interesting plot twists, and a pretty expected ending.

Definitely worth it

This series has been one of the most unique series I’ve ever listened to. Very different, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters are well developed, the story line is well thought out, and the depth of the story is very good. It goes beyond just being a fantasy/scyfi story, but a deeper look into humanity with an alien twist.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The details created amazing images of each hex and people that inhabited it. I look forward to discovering more about the Well World.
