Twilight at the Well of Souls (Saga of the Well World, Vol 5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The rift in the fabric of space was fast approaching the Well World, and time was running out. Troops all over the planet were gathering for the final battle.

Nathan Brazil and Mavra Chang somehow had to reach the Well of Souls in time to save the universe and before any of the hostile natives managed to kill them.

At best, a difficult mission. At worst, impossible -- especially since there was a price on Brazil's head and many would-be claimants! For Brazil, the difficult was but the work of a moment -- the impossible would take a little longer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 5: Capstone of a classic series., June 3, 1998

By	indanthrene (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews

The myriad stories begun throughout the series are brought together here, as plot-threads you didn't know existed are revealed and then woven together (and none of them are dissatisfying cheap tricks, either). Many questions are answered, but not all of them.

The scope of the finish here is the biggest I can remember, and the poignacy of the end is distinct from the triumph or anti-climax at the end of many other major science fiction tales.

I've read this entire series four or five times completely, and it was worth it every time.

Vol. 1: Midnight at the Well of Souls
Vol. 2: Exiles at the Well of Souls (Part 1: War of the Well World)
Vol. 3: Quest for the Well of Souls (Part 2: War of the Well World)
Vol. 4: The Return of Nathan Brazil
Vol. 5: Twilight at the Well of Souls

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Well World novel yet!!, April 16, 1998

By A Customer

I have to say the Twilight is in my opinion the best Well World novel that has been written. It brings back my favorite character, Nathan Brazil, and it also explains more about the history of the Well and even why Nathan Brazil was really left as a Guardian. I thought that it also incorporated some good villians and and subplots and left a very big opening for many new Well World novels. All in all, I say it is a very good book and a must have.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, October 31, 2007

Brazil and Chang to save the Well.


No shortage of wars on the Well World in this series, it seems, as Nathan Brazil and friends get to fight to get him to the Well of Souls. He is happy to be ruthless with personal in a commander type role to get the job done, too.

There are also some revelations about what Brazil is and why he is so important to the whole situation.

Perhaps not as interesting as the rest of the series.
