[edit] Plot Summary
After scientist Gilgam Zinder recreates the basic Markovian technology to create and modify matter at will, he and his planetoid-sized intelligent supercomputer named Obie are captured by drug dealer Antor Trelig, who uses Zinder's daughter Nikki to force Zinder to work for him. Mavra Chang is hired to rescue Zinder and halt Trelig's plans of universal conquest, but in the process Obie is activated and accidentally makes contact with the Well World, which transport's Obie and everyone nearby into its orbit. Mavra and Zinder crashland in the Southern Hemisphere after their ship is disabled while flying over a non-tech hex, which starts a war between the races of the Well World trying to collect all of the scattered pieces of their ship in order to escape into the universe.
