An expedition to a planet finds two gigantic humanoid creatures with horns and hooves - demons, preserved but still alive. Now the three warring Empires must work together to save the trillions of souls in the galaxy, but they find they have some unusual allies. If demons exist, why not angels?
My ratings for this series were roughly: 4 stars Book 1 3.5 stars Book 2 3 stars Book 3
Great build-up in Book 1, Action and plot development in Book 2, But Book 3 just felt like it dragged a bit, and then the climax was a bit too simple after all the build-up. ( )
Honestly, this might be rated higher if I had even an inkling what was going on more than half the book. Even backing up and rereading large parts of it did not make any of it clearer. ( )
Ninety Trillion Fausts is the 3rd and final book in The Quintara Marathon trilogy. The small groups have found their way to the Quintara city with a slow attrition of all those involved forcing the three groups to put aside their differences and accept an uneasy truce. They discover a chamber where 4 princes of the Quintara are locked away, and they want to be released.
Overall, I enjoyed the series but the last half of this book, it seemed Chalker was trying to hard to make a point and didn't care quite as much about the story being told. It didn't ruin the series but it could have been better. ( )

For the late and much underrated Mark Chiffon, one of whose books convinced me that anything was possible, and, of course, a special tip of the hat to the late, great Eric Frank Russell, as always.
AUTHOR'S NOTEWhen writing the three volumes of The Quintara Marathon, I immediately ran into the problem of representing nonverbal communications. In the book we have various characters and creatures, some of whom communicate in whole or in part directly with the mind of another. When added to internalized dialogue, this began to make for a page that was both confusing and typographically unwieldy.The late George O. Smith, when faced with this problem, decided that the easiest way to resolve this was to use a different dialogue delimiter so that the reader would instantly know which communications were verbal and which were mind-to-mind. I have often marveled that others never took up this practice, but it seems practical here and throughout The Quintara Marathon. Thus, to alert you, text delimited by opposing carets, or "arrows" as they are sometimes called (e.g., <Watch out on your left!>) are telepathic or mind-to-mind dialogue throughout this book, joining the traditional "Watch out!" for verbal communications and Better watch out (no delimiters) for internalized dialogue. It might jar at the start, but as, every once in a while, all sorts of furious dialogue flies in all directions, I think you'll find it remarkably easy to get used to, and certainly preferable to the alternatives.Jack L. Chalker

They had entered the strange alternate Universe of the demons in full e-suits with supplies, weapons, and communications, and they had fought with each other and faced down demons in amber, some of whom offered them almost anything for escape, while others had simply laughed at them. Now, at the end of their long journey, they were naked, essentially defenseless, and still at one another's throats.
