Series Giveaway: Riverworld ~ by Philip José Farmer (and it’s International)!

 

International Giveaway and Re-release Announcement for:

Gods of Riverworld ~ by Philip José Farmer (US|UK|Canada) 

It’s the last of the Riverworld series, and today we have the entire series for giveaway. Better yet, it’s international. How fun is that!

This series is “classic” science fiction, set in a futuristic world along the banks of a river, hence the name Riverworld.

Blurb for this last book:  Thirty billion people from throughout Earth’s history have been resurrected along the great and winding waterways of Riverworld. Most began life anew—accepting without question the sustenance provided by their mysterious benefactors. But a rebellious handful, including Mark Twain, Richard Burton, and Peter Jairus Frigate, burned to confront the unseen masters who controlled their fate—and these few launched an invasion that will ultimately yield the mind-boggling truth.

Written almost 40 years ago, the first book in the series won both a Nebula and  Hugo Award – To Your Scattered Bodies Go. Having begun reading the first in the series I am finding it accessible, intriguing and insightful, as well as darkly funny. It is also imparting me with bits of history which I am notoriously bad at.

Pictured here are the other books in this paperback re-printed series:

• Riverworld ~ To Your Scattered Bodies Go and The Fabulous Riverboat  (#1 and #2) ~ by Philip José Farmer US|UK|Canada.
• The Dark Design (# 3) ~ Philip José Farmer US|UK|Canada.
• The Magic Labyrinth (#4) ~ by Philip José Farmer US|UK|Canada.

For more information on each of these books please see the movie tie in and preview post for the first three editions of the Riverworld series.
