    To Your Scattered Bodies Go is the Hugo Award-winning beginning to the story of Riverworld, Philip José Farmer's unequaled tale about life after death. When famous adventurer Sir Richard Francis Burton dies, the last thing he expects to do is awaken naked on a foreign planet along the shores of a seemingly endless river. But that's where Burton and billions of other humans (plus a few nonhumans) find themselves as the epic Riverworld saga begins. It seems that all of Earthly humanity has been resurrected on the planet, each with an indestructible container that provides three meals a day, cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, a lighter, and the odd tube of lipstick. But why? And by whom? That's what Burton and a handful of fellow adventurers are determined to discover as they construct a boat and set out in search of the river's source, thought to be millions of miles away. Although there are many hardships during the journey--including an encounter with the infamous Hermann Goring--Burton's resolve to complete his quest is strengthened by a visit from the Mysterious Stranger, a being who claims to be a renegade within the very group that created the Riverworld. The stranger tells Burton that he must make it to the river's headwaters, along with a dozen others the Stranger has selected, to help stop an evil experiment at the end of which humanity will simply be allowed to die. --Craig E. Engler

    Tous les mystères du Fleuve sont en effet, ici, dévoilés. Pourquoi les Ethiques ont-ils ressuscité l'humanité ? Et comment s'y sont-ils pris ? Pourquoi y a-t-il eu entre eux des dissensions ? Quels étaient les mystérieux comploteurs cosmiques ? La série du Fleuve de l'éternité est un des chefs-d'œuvre de la science-fiction. Mêlant science-fiction, aventures et histoire, elle a reçu le prix Hugo pour son premier titre, Le Monde du Fleuve, publié dans la même collection. Le Labyrinthe magique est le quatrième volume d'une fresque qui, en définitive, en comportera cinq. En effet, Philipp José Farmer n'a pu se résoudre à délaisser sa création. Dans un cinquième volume, qui va au-delà du Labyrinthe magique, il révèle les secrets des Dieux du fleuve. Le cycle du Fleuve de l'éternité, qui compte parmi les chefs-d'œuvre incontestés de la science-fiction, comprend cinq volumes : Le Monde du fleuve (prix Hugo), Le Bateau fabuleux, Le Noir Dessein, Le Labyrinthe magique, Les Dieux du fleuve.
