MAROONED
ON THE
WELL WORLD

For eleven bitter years, Mavra Chang had been a prisoner on the Well World - the master-world where hundreds of impossible races existed, each in its own strange environment. Her once-human companions had been mutated into alien forms, and she was isolated and abandoned. Worse, her body was cruelly changed to a monstrous and useless travesty of what she had been.

Above her circled the planetoid which contained Obie, the supercomputer that could restore her body and her powers. But the only means of reaching him was by a spaceship that was stranded in the northern hemisphere - where no flesh-and-blood creature could exist.

To make matters worse - if that were possible! - her enemies were plotting to steal the ship and escape from the Well World without her. Other, even more wicked enemies were coming to kill her. Her last shred of hope was gone.

But Mavra Chang had never learned to surrender to fate... and this wasn't the time to start!

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.
