 Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Science Fiction
novel of the year in 1972, this book launched one of the most famous
science fiction series of all time. Now Del Rey is bringing the
complete four-volume set back into print in handsome and sturdy new
trade paperbacks. "All those who ever lived on Earth have found
themselves resurrected -- healthy, young, and naked as newborns --
on the grassy banks of a mighty river, in a world unknown.
Miraculously provided with food, but with no clues to the meaning of
their strange new afterlife, billions of people from every period of
Earth's history -- and prehistory -- must start again. Sir Francis
Bacon would be the first to glimpse the incredible way-station, a
link between worlds. This forbidden sight would spur the renowned
19th-century explorer to uncover the truth. Along with a remarkable
group of compatriots, including Alice Liddell Hargreaves (the
Victorian girl who was the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland), an
English-speaking Neanderthal, a WWII Holocaust survivor, and a wise
extraterrestrial, Burton sets sail on the magnificent river. His
mission: to confront humankind's mysterious benefactors, and learn
the true purpose--innocent or evil--of the Riverworld..."
