Three stories of a world shared by resurrected humans from all times and placesโplus ten more tales by the Hugo Awardโwinning author of the World of Tiers series.
On author Philip Josรฉ Farmer's Riverworld, humans from every era and culture have been simultaneously resurrected. Ancient Hebrews, medieval warriors, Spanish Inquisitors, and modern Americans intermingle in this strange new environment, but many still cling to old prejudices.
