Riverworld (Philip José Farmer, 1971)

The whole of humanity, from the time of the first homo sapiens through to the early 21st century, is mysteriously resurrected along the banks of a planet's twisting river.

Genghis Khan, Alice, Sir Richard Burton, Mark Twain, Peter Frigate and others wander along in search of the master beings who brought them all back to life.

Five books are part of this series (the 2nd and 3rd are not half as good as the other ones though):
- To Your Scattered Bodies Go
- The Fabulous Riverboat
- The Dark Design
- The Magic Labyrinth
- The Gods of Riverworld

Rating: 7/10
