The rift in the fabric of space is fast approaching the Well World, and if the Well World is destroyed, the entire universe will disappear. However, the squabbling forces on the planet aren't going to let the impending doomsday stop them from having a serious war.

This exciting, action-packed novel marks Jack Chalker's triumphant return to his celebrated multivolume saga: The Well World. The Sea Is Full of Stars explores an unknown interstellar civilization, stars an all-new cast of characters, and reveals fresh secrets. But of course, The Well remains . . . After three passengers--Ming, Ari, and Angel--embark on an elite starship journey into the Realm, they unwittingly become ensnared in one man's bloodthirsty vendetta that will alter their very beings. That man is Jeremiah Wong Kincaid. He vows to destroy Josich Conqueror Hadun, the evil genius who has wreaked unspeakable havoc throughout the universe. It is an obsession that will take him to lands of demons and strange races--and into a deadly new cyberworld where humans are mere pawns of the godlike computers they have created. But it is only after Kincaid and his unwitting fellow travelers enter Well World and discover the water hexes that he confronts the mad tyrant--and learns their universe is threatened by something far, far worse . . .

What if a mad man just pushed the reset button... on the whole world? And the world as we know it today just simply disappears. But somehow against all odds we survive. The McEnnis family faces this very problem, they take extraordinary measures by going into hibernation till the danger is over and wake up in a world not their own. America has become a myth, Benjamin Franklin is a God that wields lightning, Old Glory the name of the divine and Lady Liberty a Goddess who welcomes the dead through her golden door.
