Winner of the 1972 Hugo Award for best novel. Publisher's Note: 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 Earths 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 . . . Over the course of this landmark five-book series, a remarkable cross-section of compatriots, including Sir Richard Francis Burton, Mark Twain, and Jack London, sets out to confront humankind's mysterious benefactors and learn the truth, innocent or evil, about the astonishing and legendary Riverworld. Note on Gregg Press printings: Many of the Gregg Press SF books were printed in editions of only 200 to 300 copies. Quite a few of these were sold to libraries, so finding non-exlibrary copies of all the books can be challenging. Some of the books that sold well were reprinted. It is possible to tell on many of those that were reprinted if a book is a first printing or not but not in all cases. Most first printings stated this on the copyright page but according to Hartwell, a few first printings had no statement of first printing and a few reprint runs didn't get the first printing statements removed. Condition: Binding - very good, top and bottom of spine bumped, minor edgewear and rubbing, slight ding to the edge of the front board at the spine gutter, page edges very very slightly soiled. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
