View Full Version : Riverworld series - Philip Jose Farmer stustaff 06-11-2008, 05:47 AM My Dad gave all of these books to me when i was 10/11 and i loved them reread them now 5 or 6 times. Anyone else a fan? Also anyone know if they are available as Ebooks anywhere? Ta HarryT 06-11-2008, 07:45 AM They do not appear to be available as eBooks.

Also anyone know if they are available as Ebooks anywhere? Ta No, actually, the exact opposite. Although, I'm willing to believe that it was more a matter of presentation. I read the first book, loved it until I got to the end. Cliff hanger of sorts .... and no second book available. By the time the second book was available, I had forgotten most of the first. Had to read it again, then got to the end of the second book ... cliff hanger of sorts again. I think I gave up when I had the same go-round with the third book. By that point, I was really pissed off with Mr. Farmer, and have never really forgiven him. stustaff 06-11-2008, 09:54 AM You really should finish them Ricky great ending in the penultimate book! The last one in the series is a little out of place however. I just love the idea of being able to use any character from history in your book! I also like how Dean Koontz used Elvis in his 'Odd Thomas' series. RickyMaveety 06-11-2008, 09:55 AM Eh ... maybe ... I'd have to decide if it was worth reading all of them again. I'll wait until their all out in ebook format and then decide. gnawingonfoot 06-11-2008, 07:10 PM I've only read the first one in the series, but I loved it and all of Mr. Farmer's other works that I've been able to get ahold of! Unfortunately his works are scarcely e-vailable. I wish Baen would pick up a few more rights to e-release his older books like they did with Strange Relations (http://www.baen.com/author_catalog.asp?author=pjfarmer) (which also includes The Lovers and Flesh). jplumey 06-14-2008, 09:51 PM I've been thinking about giving these books a go, but now I am concerned that I won't be satisfied until I've read them all. Does each book really end that way? RickyMaveety 06-15-2008, 03:39 PM I've been thinking about giving these books a go, but now I am concerned that I won't be satisfied until I've read them all. Does each book really end that way? Well, I can't speak for any further than I got. Anyone here get through them all ... .and was there EVER an ending?? |
