Involving sci-fi with incredible world building

This is book two in the Quintara Marathon, and you should read "The Demons at Rainbow Bridge" first, and then follow this novel with "The Ninety Trillion Fausts." Having broken free of their ancient imprisonment, a pair of Quintara make the three empires stop and notice their ancient enemies have returned. The Mizlaplan (fanatics of the Cosmic All), the Mycholians (parasites who control other lifeforms), and the Exchange (ruthless capatalists) all send teams in an effort to stop the Quintara. As the teams compete against and cooperate with each other on the journey to Chaos Keep, where the ancient seals that imprison the Quintara reside, they must survive the million ancient traps on the way. This gripping science fiction novel keeps up a good pace and further develops the characters introduced in the first book. The danger and inner conflicts make it well worth reading. If you read book one, buy it... the story gets better!

A must read for any fan of sci fi

I THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS A VERY WELL WRITTEN STUDY OF NOT ONLY THE DEMONS,BUT THE THREE DIFFERENT CULTURES WHOS JOB IT WOULD BECOME TO STOP THEM.THE CHARECTERS ARE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND BELEIVEABLE.MR.CHALKER IS ONE OF THE MOST ORIGANAL AND BEST AUTHERS SINCE TOLKIEN
