Summary
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 Earth's history—and prehistory—must start again.Sir Richard Francis Burton would be the first to glimpse the incredible way-station, a link between worlds. This forbidden sight would spur the renowned 19thcentury 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 …Winner of the Hugo Award

The story is good, but given such a compelling premise I hoped it would have been far more interesting than it really was. Still, if you’re looking for a fun little adventure to get lost in; this is worth the 7-8 hour listen. The Narrator could be a little flat at times. I found it more enjoyable at 1.2/1.3 speed.

Some of the greatest ideas of sci fi. And very boring narrstive. Also this first book of the serirs stops abruptly eithout a decent ending. The third and last ends without a decent ending. So the second one us perhaps the best.
