Riverworld: Including to Your Scattered Bodies Go & the Fabulous Riverboat
"Charts a territory somewhere between "Gulliver's
Travels" and "The Lord of the Rings.""
"--Time ""To Your Scattered Bodies Go" and
"The Fabulous Riverboat "Combined for the first time in
one volume! Imagine that every human who ever lived, from the
earliest Neanderthals to the present, is resurrected after death on
the banks of an astonishing and seemingly endless river on an
unknown world. They are miraculously provided with food, but with
not a clue to the possible meaning of this strange afterlife. And
so billions of people from history, and before, must start living
again. Some set sail on the great river questing for the meaning of
their resurrection, and to find and confront their mysterious
benefactors. On this long journey, we meet Sir Richard Francis
Burton, Mark Twain, Odysseus, Cyrano de Bergerac, and many others,
most of whom embark upon searches of their own in this huge
afterlife.
