Description
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 Richard Francis Burton 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....

Farmer weaves an iconic Saga
This first of the Riverworld series is an entertaining and provocative story that contains plenty of humor with its genre defining innovation. Many of Farmer's unique creations have become tropes of contemporary science fiction.

Classic Sci-Fi Rarely Holds Up Well
Richard Burton, a 19th century English explorer and a group of humans from different times and places wake up naked and hairless, resurrected in a strange empty paradise by a river.
The concept is interesting, but the plot leaves something to be desired. Halfway through the novel someone guesses what's going on and that turns out to be the case.
The other problem is that the main characters are all pulled out of times past with their racist ideas intact. The author tries to grapple with it, but we're still left with an unlikable cast of men.
The writing is pretty classically sexist and xenophobic. Even though everyone is naked, only the women's bodies are described by the narrator, and usually in terms of how attractive they are. Men's bodies are never described unless they are racially othered in some way. There is also a pretty homophobic moment.
