Infinity Quest — James L. Hatch

Ten billion ancient Endol flee their dying sun in sixty-four fleets of gigantic starships. For 5.6 trillion years they scatter outward, spreading intelligent life to thousands of Universes. As the population flees they are enslaved by a reasoning glyph known as Marid. Marid heads a fanatical technological religion called The Covenant. Over trillions of years he becomes the all-powerful God of all known Universes. He has indentured his people, and war between Eve and Marid becomes inevitable. Eve's husband is tortured to death during battles with Marid, and ten billion Endol remain imprisoned on outbound ships. Eve vows to defeat Marid wherever he exists or die trying. Permeated by love, deceit, and subterfuge, this novel presents new views of space and imaginative technology. It is a delight for Sci-Fi readers of all ages.
