Chalker used to bang out trilogies and series as if science fiction were on the brink of extinction.

Humanity went out into the stars and found itself just another alien race among the many claimed by these three polities. The Exchange is ruled by the mysterious never-seen Guardians, and is pure Rand-like capitalism from top to bottom. The Mycohlians are parasites and they pretty much leave their anarchic empire to run itself, assuming that the cream — the most ruthless and violent cream, that is — will rise to the top and keep everything together. An Exchange scout ship finds a pair of the eponymous demons on a remote world, and sends out a mayday before being slaughtered.

The novel then spends a third of its pages describing the formation of an Exchange team to investigate, then a third on a Mizlaplanian team to do the same, and the final third on the Mycohlian team. All three head for the remote world, where they find a butchered research team, the demons have escaped and… continued in the next book of the trilogy. Chalker was a crap writer and this is far from his best work.

Sep 22, Ross rated it really liked it Shelves: I really enjoyed this book - A great mystery adventure. I haven't read all Jack's stuff, but really loved the Rings of the Masters read that twice , and the Change Winds series. Certainly not hard science, it's "anything goes" type science fiction, but great characters, and an interesting premise. Reminds me alot of Peirs Anthony's Cluster series.

Many different characters, and different intelligent species, but also they are collected in three different cultures - indifferent Capitalists, theistic communists, and a brutal Facist like culture. Too bad about the juvenile cover art, but dont let it stop you! Nov 18, John Sorensen rated it it was amazing Shelves: I was amazed at the complexity, richness and depth and fun of the series. This was the first book. The trilogy is incredibly ambitious.

This book covers how the teams are formed.

Absolutely loved the series, this book, and the creativity Chalker displayed. Jun 27, Thomas rated it really liked it. First book in a science fiction trilogy concerning three teams from three different competing galactic civilizations that are investigating a discovery at a boundary of the known universe, called Rainbow Bridge. Because it is the first book in a trilogy, the book ends r First book in a science fiction trilogy concerning three teams from three different competing galactic civilizations that are investigating a discovery at a boundary of the known universe, called Rainbow Bridge.

Because it is the first book in a trilogy, the book ends rather abruptly. If you make it through the complicated story set-up through to the end, you will be hooked. Oct 01, John Steiner rated it liked it. This isn't your usual science fiction, particularly given the H. Lovecraftian premise of stumbling upon demons in space. However, I did enjoy Chalker's wide range of alien characters and how easily he delved into the perspectives of the opposing sides sent out on missions to unravel the mystery of these demons suspended animation and, ultimately, how the universe itself manifested.

Another series that a bit too convoluted and slow moving. The exploration on the three galactic empires, and the species and individuals from those societies, are great. But the main plot element, a race of "demons" and the race to discover and ward off a possible incursion by them, is handled rather boringly. This is perhaps my favorite Chalker series.

The Demons at Rainbow Bridge introduces the three empires and their respective teams which end up chasing the Demons down a rabbit hole. Each of the empires are great in their own way: Fascinating characters with a great story line. Feb 13, Mike Habiby rated it it was amazing. I'm a big fan of all of Chalker's works.

Rainbow Bridge (pets)

Revisiting this trilogy on my complete re-read of his works. The first novel is a good set up for the other two.

As usual Chalker does a great job of character creation and creating plot tension. Chalker has written some great series and this one is in the middle to high range in quality of all his works. Feb 17, Rob Trevino rated it really liked it. I read this a hundred times when I was young and I still think it's a fun space opera with some nice world building coupled with some old school sci-fi writer iffy dialogue and character choices, sigh.

Jul 01, Kate rated it really liked it Shelves: Another brilliant beginning to a series with the seeds of all of Chalker's usual themes.

Presented of course in a completely different light. He had such a great imagination and I am very much looking forward to the rest of The Quintara Marathon. Nov 17, Jerry Hart rated it it was ok. I gave up near the end.

The Mizlaplan have the ability though only in close physical proximity to completely override the free will of any sentient being other than the Mycohilians that make up Empire 3 and create complete devotion to them. Each has gained popularity around the world among animal lovers who have lost a pet. If you've read my book, you know about my friend Lizard. Feb 17, Rob Trevino rated it really liked it. According to the story, when a pet dies, it goes to the meadow, restored to perfect health and free of any injuries. The pet runs and plays all day with the others; there is always fresh food and water, and the sun is always shining.

The writing is dreadful and confusing. This book is clearly the start of a series and is all setup. Oct 05, Mark Palmer rated it really liked it. Interesting concept, and it pulled me in. Sep 26, Howard added it. May 13, Stacey rated it liked it Shelves: This whole series, of three, is quality sci-fi. Jan 17, Jesse rated it really liked it Shelves: Three different viewpoints, three completely different and very opposed cultures.

Three understood groups of characters. Not as good as his Well World works, but worth a read. Every time I pick up one of Chalker's volumes, I wind up pleasantly surprised. His titles and synopses often sound a little hokey, but the stories and characters turn out to benothing of the sort. May 10, Jay rated it liked it. Best in the series so far, still have to read the third.

May 05, Aaron Anderson rated it did not like it Shelves: I don't remember if this deserves a 2 or 1, but I'm going to give it a 1, since this series effectively made me stop reading any new Chalker. Apr 15, Grant rated it it was amazing. Always a fun re-read of this series. A little complicated at first due to how it was written. Other then that a great read. Keeps you guessing and on edge about what's going on.

Having been circulated widely around the world, the prose poem's original authorship is uncertain. The genesis of the rhyming poem is straightforward: But when a local veterinarian asked if they could make it the basis of sympathy cards he might send to his patients, the poem gained popularity. The internet widened the restorative power of the poem internationally. The concept of a paradise where pets wait for their human owners appeared much earlier, in the little-known sequel to Beautiful Joe , the Margaret Marshall Saunders ' book, Beautiful Joe's Paradise.

In this green land, the animals do not simply await their owners, but also help each other learn and grow and recover from mistreatment they may have endured in life. But the animals come to this land, and continue to true heaven, not by a bridge but by balloon.
