Sticking with the musical theme…
What do you mean the stores are all closed? Dress.

“Stop calling me Satan. I want to be known as Caitlyn.”

It’s just like the movies, where the not so pretty person comes down the stairs and people are all like, “YOU LOOK AMAZING.” Except instead of a princess or prince.. they are in awe of GALGAMORT the eternal pain giver.

I’m content with the cover. Do you know why? Because the lady is modestly dressed, and her body isn’t the centrepiece of the picture. After what we’ve been through of late, it’s refreshing to be presented with the spawn of Vincent Price and Julius Irving.

@DeadStuffWithBigTeeth, considering this is a Jack L Chalker story (and therefore will contain much gratuitous nudity & body swapping) I quite agree that this is a remarkably tasteful cover. Though I do question calling the complete series “the quintara marathon” as it makes it sound like a bit of a slog to get through.

This is what happens when Chris de Burgh is allowed to go unchecked.

Why is there a wing sticking out of the top left corner of the cover?
And why wasn’t this titled “A Feast of Fausts”?

90 Trillion Fausts = 1 Googhoul of Goethes
@Tom Noir. The wing hints at the glorious scene on the back cover.

For centuries, the legendary demons captured the imaginations of three alien races, all of whom looked shockingly stupid.

the musical theme continues:
I’ll build a stairway to purgatory, with a new step every day

@Bibliomancer: What? You mean I have to go to the back cover to get my nudity fix? Unacceptable.

The title brings to mind when people (especially kids) make up ridiculous fake numbers like “seventy gajillion” or some such. NOT a title to inspire confidence in the quality of the book.

I’m reminded of burger joint signage: “Over Ninety Trillion Fausts Served”.

Ninety trillion Fausts? It’s taken Terrance Dicks forty-odd years to get his first http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2015/07/terrance-dicks-awarded-2015-faust-award.html

So, that’s on the order of ten thousand (short scale) generations of the whole planet’s population being fausts..? Around thousand million for long scale.
That’s a lot of fausts.

Ninety trillion out of ten trillion owners, who expressed a preference, say their Fausts prefer it.

Thank you for directing me to the back cover, B-Mancer. Now I have even more of a feast of words to attempt digesting. “90 Trillion Clichés” might be a more accurate title.
Front Cover:
Bestselling author (natch)
Shattering Conclusion
Powerful Storyteller (rilly!)
Orson Scott Card (a living cliché)
Back Cover:
Legendary
All-too-real
Adventurous
Inventive
Intriguing
Eminently Entertaining
Ah, it feels good to be back . . . .

Forget the demons. Somebody stop the mad geneticist who has created 90 Freaking Trillion clones! Good God!
July 15th, 2015 at 9:43 am
Isn’t Orson Scott Card of Washington Post a bit like William Shakespeare of The Sun?

The tagline “The Demons Must Die!” was also the title of a Pat Robertson sermon.

Thats a lot of illion.
November 12th, 2015 at 8:38 pm
You know what they say — if you put ninety trillion Fausts in front of ninety trillion typewriters, one of them is going to write a blurb like “The demons must die!”
