It is a world of resurrection - where every soul who ever lived on Earth now resides; and where these same people can never again die permanently. Into this extraordinary world is reborn Sam Clemens. With a shipload of resurrected Vikings and a blood brother who was once a Neanderthal, Sam's quest to recover his beloved wife Livy and to reach the far-off mouth of the great River becomes the framework for an unforgettable adventure. The Riverworld, scene of the Hugo Award novel To Your Scattered Bodies Go, grudgingly gives up more of its astonishing secrets, setting the stage for the climax of this great new classic of science fiction.

Philip José Farmer

Philip José Farmer

Philip José Farmer (1918–2009) was an American author, principally known for his science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories. He spent much of his life in Peoria, Illinois.

Farmer is best known for his Riverworld series and the earlier World of Tiers series. He is noted for his fascination for and reworking of the lore of legendary pulp heroes, and occasional tongue-in-cheek pseudonyminous works written as if by fictional characters.
