	The Official Philip José Farmer Home Page - Riverworld
		In the mid 60's Frederick Pohl suggested that one book was too short for the riverworld idea and convinced Phil to write several novelets that he could publish in one of Pohl's magazines.
		This time Samuel Clemens is the main character and since sailing is much easier than walking he decides to build a boat and use it to find the source of the river and whatever may be waiting there.
		In this unique and daring fantasy adventure we travel to RIVERWORLD, a mysterious and treacherous land where every human who died between the years 99,000 BC and 2,200 AD has been resurrected on the banks of a colossal river.

	Riverworld - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Adapted from a series of novels by science fiction icon Philip Jose Farmer, the made-for-cable Riverworld is set on a distant planet where famous historical characters are reincarnated in a young, attractive,and healthy form.
		After his death in a space accident, Earth astronaut Hale (Brad Johnson) is reborn on Riverworld, where, much to his amazement, he rubs shoulders with dozens of past celebrities, from Mark Twain to the Emperor Nero.
		Greed, mistrust, and tribal warfare are the principal "industries" in Riverworld, with many of Earth's past villains (Nero, in particular) hoping to exploit their new lives in order to resume their wicked ways.

	Riverworld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Riverworld is a fictional universe and the setting for a series of science fiction books written by Philip José Farmer.
		The story of Riverworld begins when almost the whole of humanity, from the time of the first homo sapiens through to the early 21st century, is simultaneously resurrected along the banks of the river.
		Since all the languages of mankind are represented in Riverworld, Esperanto spreads as a common tongue.

	GameOver - Riverworld (c) Cryo Interactive
		Unit selection is a little rough too; sometimes you just want to select a peon for a quick job and instead the whole window zooms onto that worker, leaving you disoriented and trying to navigate your way back to the view you had before.
		Riverworld had a lot of interesting and unique variations that separate it from the rest of the other real time strategy games.
		As it stands now, Riverworld will go down in gaming history as a release that "almost was, but not quite".

	Movie Review \| Riverworld (2003) Brad Johnson, Emily Lloyd
		Alas, a limited budget, an unimaginative script, and the Sci Fi Channel label has all but doomed Kari Skogland's "Riverworld" to the bin of films that should never have been made in the first place, even as a pilot for a would-be TV series that never came to fruition.
		"Riverworld" is based on a series of fantasy/sci-fi novels by Philip Jose Farmer, whose version of Riverworld is more ambitious and grander in scope than the film version.
		No doubt "Riverworld" the TV show would have progressed in the vein of the recent "Lost World" series, with the crew of Sam's riverboat encountering the rest of Earth's reincarnated souls as they travel down Riverworld's seemingly endless river.

	Review: Riverworld
		There are sub-menus for all the different units and buildings in the game, and you must use them all to get on with most of the things you need to do.
		Having said all that, it's got to be said that Cryo should be commended for attempting as ambitious a project as this.
		Riverworld has decent graphics, plenty of different tribes to choose from, and a research tree that any 2D strategy game would be proud to call its own.

	To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip Jose Farmer, Riverworld book
		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.
		Finally, the intrigue of who built Riverworld and why is handled effectively (even if those who have gone on to read the rest of the series know that Farmer fails to complete this aspect of the story successfully in the sequels).
		The World of Tiers books and, beginning in 1971, the Riverworld novels have been very successful commercially and are often regarded as the cornerstones of Farmer's career, even if most of his fans agree that much of Farmer's best writing is to be found outside of either series.

	Happy Fields and Dancing Schnausers: Riverworld
		This was the first thing that bugged me. Out of the four Riverworld books, I've read two and a half, and none of them had him in it.
		What also bothered me was that there were others of the Riverworld lazari who were there before Hale's group.
		That bugged me. In the first Riverworld book, there was no clear-cut villain in the beginning.

		Mixing historical figures and pure imagination like no one else, legendary author Philip José Farmer launched his "Riverworld" series with the novelette "The Day of the Great Shout" in the January 1965 issue of Worlds of Tomorrow.
		His novelettes "The Felled Star" and "The Fabulous Riverboat" (Worlds of IF Science Fiction, July-August 1967 and June-August 1971) were combined to create the next "Riverworld" book, "The Fabulous Riverboat" (1971).
		This SCI FI Pictures telefilm is based on the first two novels of Farmer's remarkable saga — which, by 1993, included 10 novels, short-story collections and such books of miscellanea as "Riverworld War: The Suppressed Fiction of Philip José Farmer" (a collection that includes a chapter which was cut from the fourth novel).

		Welcome to legendary author Philip José Farmer's Earthlike afterlife, where people from every era have been reborn young and healthy — and where an astronaut and a motley assortment of allies battle an ancient Roman emperor and a Viking warlord for the soul of humanity.
		The warlord Valdemar (the late Kevin Smith of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, in his final role) thunders in with an army, to announce that he is the ruler of Riverworld and that the newcomers are to be soldiers, workers or slaves.

		Riverworld takes the audience on an "around the world" tour by river and explores many of the planet's wildest waters and places.
		The show is based on my own experiences and its intent is to create a greater awareness of the importance of rivers while also focusing on the threats that confront them.
		Many of his travels and experiences are highlighted in his new Riverworld presentation that premiered in Vancouver on September 25, and which will be held in other North American cities in coming months.

	Riverworld TV series
		Philip Jose Farmer's interesting premise of adventures set on a strange life-after-death-world is squandered on a fairly commonplace barbarian-planet story that appears to be the pilot for a most uninteresting and humdrum TV series.
		So it was with mixed anticipation that I looked forward to RIVERWORLD, a film adaptation that was being made for the Sci-Fi Channel, based on the Farmer books.
		If this is going to become a TV series it can do it without me. I rate RIVERWORLD a 4 on the 0 to 10 scale and a 0 on the -4 to +4 scale.

		There are also statistics for several creatures native to the Riverworld, and a new alien race.

	: RevolutionSF - Riverworld : Review
		The lead barbarian is Valdemar, played by the late Kevin Smith, who memorably played Ares on "Hercules" and "Xena." This is Smith's last role, I believe, before his death in a movie set accident last year.
		Riverworld is more like a feudal land than any mystical afterlife, at least in what's shown here.
		This movie may be a pilot attempt, at a series or at least another movie.

	TIME.com: "Riverworld" Revisited -- Jul 28, 1980 -- Page 1
		For inexplicably resurrected on both banks of the mysterious river is every soul who ever lived, from hairy cave dwellers to modern Homo sapiens, from the totally unknown to such famous figures as Joan of Arc, Karl Marx and Hermann Göring.
		In a tantalizing curtain raiser, Sir Richard Francis Burton, searcher for the source of the Nile, translator of The Arabian Nights, soldier, swordsman and linguist, dies in Trieste in 1890 (as did the historical Burton).
		The auspicious opening was a difficult act to follow, and many Farmerites wondered whether the Riverworld was wide enough to sustain a projected tetralogy.

		The premise of the Riverworld books is unique, fantastic, and the hook that will draw you in and hold you.
		Unfortunately this is the first installment of Riverworld series and as volumes passes the quality dwindle as well as the interest in the story.
		The nature of the Riverworld helps us to see the suggestion that no matter who the people being governed are- because on the Riverworld they can be anyone- an evil leader can make a fascist slave state as long as he holds onto power.

	Riverworld: And Other Stories (Riverworld) by Philip José Farmer
		A volume collecting eleven stories, including an 80-page "Riverworld" novella, "Riverworld" being the author's most famous fictional device, a planet on which everyone who has ever lived on Earth up to the year 2008 finds himself resurrected one fine day.
		Published in 1971, the first volume in the "Riverworld"saga - "To your scattered bodies go" - is a breathtaking novel which promptly and rightly won the Hugo Award.
		Farmer managed to sustain the momentum in "The fabulous riverboat", but lost it a little in volume three, "The dark design", a book as thick as the first two volumes put together, but not quite as good.
