CROSSROADS OF THE
FLAMMARION RIFT -
STAR WELL


Within Star Well can be found casinos and dining rooms, luxury suites and expensive shops, warehouses and (secret basements).  Wu and Fabricant's Guidebook says Star Well is a dull place to visit.  It wouldn't have said that if Wu and Fabricant had been shown the secret basements.

Strange travelers come to Star Well.  Anthony Villiers: personable, curious, temporarily without funds to cover his bill - and our hero.  Torve the Trog: bulge-eyed alien, illegal wanderer, vegetarian by principle.  Augustus Srb: fat and dubious priest of Mithra, and perhaps something more.

Secrets cannot be hidden forever, and the tight little world of Star Well was bursting at the seams with them.  Calamity, uproar and the end of an era were inevitable....

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
