		One interesting thing about these books is that Philip Jose Farmer has several interesting parallels to Peter Jairus Frigate, no matter how he tries to deny that Frigate is supposed to be himself.
		PJF gets my vote as the most disappointing SF author in existence and also as the one most in need of an editor.

		One of the people he meets is Paul Jairus Frigate, a science fiction author (see volume 3) who is, in some ways, a projection of Philip José Farmer—they were both born in 1918, grew up in Peoria, have the same initials, and write science fiction.

		The constant fear of a return of the English to Boston, and the necessity of providing against pillaging and foraging incursions into the country along the coast, required the exercise of unceasing vigilance on the part of the State and local authorities.
		Colonel Lovell, who sometime before had become a brigadier-general in the militia, was one of the commanders, and, as already said, the brig "Hazard" which took part in the expedition, had a number of Hingham men in her crew.
		In one instance, however, the General Court threatened a fine of twenty per cent if a requisition was not promptly responded to; and the town voted "to comply, provided it be not brought as a precedent in future time;" this was in the year 1781.

		Richard Burton discovers that Monat and Frigate are agents of the Ethicals, perhaps even Ethicals themselves.
		They were among the first people he encountered in the rivervalley, and it seems that there was a reason why they have stayed with him for so long.
		Building another boat, or stealing one, is easy enough, but Frigate has an idea for an unstable but workable airship, suggested by Jules Verne but never tried in reality.

		There Burton meets Peter Frigate, still traveling with London and his crew, but soon understands that Frigate is not the one he knew before.
		Then, there is also the fact that Frigate (Farmer's alter-ego) wants to become Nur's disciple; we cannot help wondering if Farmer has ever thought of converting to Sufism.
		Their rules lay stress on behavioral modes: vigilance, control over their desires, inner retreat in spite of the surrounding world, unworldliness, struggle against vanity and vain passions, continuous awareness of God's omnipresence, obedience to the Koran and to their masters.

	The Riverworld Series \| Themes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The theme of The Riverworld Series is probably most succinctly expressed in Chapter Thirty-One of The Dark Design by the character Peter Jairus Frigate, Philip Jose Farmer's surrogate in the series.
		Frigate explains that man is a creature stretched between animal and superman, with a superman being a man or woman who is free of prejudices and neuroses, who realizes his or her full potential, who acts on the basis of love, and who refuses to follow the herd.
		As few or none of Farmer's characters satisfies these requirements, we are given the strong impression that they are the...

	The Very Best Books : The Dark Design (Riverworld Saga, Book 3)
		One of the main faults of the book is that an excessively large number of chapters deal with science fiction writer Peter Jairus Frigate who by chance remarkably resembles the author Philip Jose Farmer.
		The main purpose of this character seems to be to serve as something of a mouthpice for Farmer to vent his views on humanity, the nature of people, religion and Riverworld....And all the subtly of a seal clubbing.
		There are numerous unnecessary digressions, including several dull chapters of backstory on Farmer's alterego, the science-fiction writer Peter Jairus Frigate (check out the initials), who is actually a relatively minor character.

		In Farmer's books a number of historical figures - including Sir Richard Burton, Alice Hargreaves, Samuel Clemens, John Lackland, Mozart, and Hermann Göring - interact with fictional characters in a quest to discover the purpose behind the creation of Riverworld and their reincarnation.
		Another character, Peter Jairus Frigate, bears a striking resemblance to Farmer himself, but is rarely a central part of the story.
		Since the publication of the original books, a number of authors have used to Riverworld setting for their own stories.

		Down to a revival in 1783 this church lived tinder the Half-Way Convenant, which allowed church membership and infant baptism to certain of the unregenerate who acknowledged the covenant.
		The Rev. Jeremiah Hallock preached for this church from 1785 to his death in 1826, and the Rev. Jairus Burt, from 1826 to his death in 1857.
		Both were strong men; they made their lasting impress upon the people; and it is doubtless due in some substantial measure to them that Canton has continuously produced a race of men among whom character has been the chiefest of earthly possessions.

		Together with PJF and sundry other characters he ventures on an expedition to learn more about this world and its creators.
		For much of the book, the plot meanders like the river, only picking up direction towards the end.

		Original characters, or even self-insertion characters, are not necessarily Mary Sues (or Marty Stus, Murray Stus, Harry Stus, and/or Gary Stus, if male).
		One example of this is Peter Jairus Frigate, who is deliberately based on his author but is rarely the focus of the story.
		The Mary Sue (or Marty Stu) character is either tougher, smarter, and cooler than the established characters but wins their admiration, or nicer, sweeter, and more charming than the established characters and wins their love.

		The lenghty sections on Frigate's dreams and thoughts certainly hurt the book.
		They provide no useful information on a character (Frigate) who is not even a main element in the story.
		Also, it seems that every time the story gets some momentum, the author breaks away into some discussion of some topic using his characters to voice his own opinions and thoughts.

		It's probably one along the lines of Philip Jose Farmer's Peter Jairus Frigate from the Riverworld series...definitely an in-joke of some description...actually; an anecdote.
		According to Terry Dowling, Vance put in "Shatterwrack" as a place in the Cadwal trilogy, before realising it was part of "Shatterwrack at Breaklight" part of Terry's fine Tom Rynosseros series...the two of them keep a communique.

		Indeed, sometimes the names tossed out seems to be a 'Who's Who' of literate pop culture.

		Instead of focusing on a single character, this book shifts between several points of view.
		And as previous reviewers have noted, there are lengthy digressions inside the head of Peter J. Frigate, a thinly-disguised version of the series author.
		As far as plot goes, some of the characters have come up with a much better way to reach the tower at the end of the River--Instead of retracing the twisty path of the River over every inch of the globe, they will just build a dirigible and fly directly there.
