Here is high fidelity fiction at Philip Jos Farmer's
storytelling best. It's a vibrant, distractingly different tale of
three centuries into the future. And as you read you'll have a
vague, uneasy feeling that it's all taking place somewhere in the
unexplored parts of the universe, even today.
Enslaved by a triangular powered despotism -- one lone man sets
his sights to the Six Bright Stars and eventual freedom of his
world.
In one volume, here are the last three novels in the classic SF
adventure series, The World of Tiers: "Behind the Walls of Terra,"
"The Lavalite World," and "More Than Fire." These are the great
originals of universe-hopping adventure that later writers,
including Roger Zelazny in his Amber Series, used as models.
Zelazny himself says, "I admire his sense of humor and facility for
selecting the perfect final sentence for everything he writes. He
can be stark, dark, smoky, bright, and any color of the emotional
spectrum...put quite simply, he arouses awe," The tierworld books
are full of non-stop action and typify Farmer's boundless
imagination. Who else would have thought of stacking up pocket
universes like a ziggurat or the layers of a cake? Join Earthlings
Robert Wolff and Paul Janus Finnigan (alias Kickaha) on an
unforgettable adventure to big for any single world.
The Tiers series chronicles the adventures of both Robert Wolff, a
man from our world transported through space-time to a cosmos with
dimensions and laws different from our own, and Kickaha the
Trickster (a.k.a. Paul J. Finnegan, also from our contemporary
world). Separately and together, the two heroes contend against the
Lords who rule the separate universes, of which the marvelous
many-leveled World of Tiers is the center. Mythological and
legendary creatures and characters abound: centaurs and harpies,
mermaids and Indians, aliens and beautiful women.

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 . . .
