Storyline: Years have passed on Riverworld. Entire nations have risen, and savage wars have been fought--all since the dead of Earth found themselves resurrected in their magnificent new homeworld. Yet the truth about the Ethicals, the powerful engineers of this mysterious "afterlife," remains unknown. But a curious cross-section of humanity is determined to change that situation . . . at any cost.
Intrepid explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton leads the most remarkable voyage of discovery he has ever undertaken. Hot on his heels are Samuel Clemens, King John of England, and Cyrano de Bergerac. Spurred by the promise of ultimate answers, they chart a course across the vast polar sea--and toward the awesome tower that looms above it. But getting there will be more than half the battle. For death on Riverworld has become chillingly final . .

Storyline: The Magic Labyrinth is the culminating achievement of twenty years of work by the author Philip Jose Farmer on an epic chronicle of a planet known as Riverworld and its 27 million men and women who woke there one morning about to begin the first day of life after death. The answers behind the mind-bending origins of Riverworld lie at last within reach, as the remarkable gathering of Earthlings - including Sir Richard Burton, Samuel Clemens, Alice Liddell Hargreaves (the real-life Alice in Wonderland) and the Chinese poet Li Po - finally breaches the stronghold of Riverworld's extraordinary super-race. But answers would lead to more mind-bending questions. Who is the Mysterious Stranger who taunted the Riverworld resurrectees with hints of the truth? What is the key to the gargantuan computer that wields the power of life and death? The astonishing secrets lie within the Dark Tower - but only for those brave enough to seek them and wise enough to decipher them
