A review by ageorgiadis
To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip José Farmer
4.0
“Purgatory is hell with hope.”
TYSBG is a compact novel about resurrection, humanity, human nature, and of course – aliens. I give nothing away by saying so. Richard Burton, a fictionalized version of the 19th century polyglot, awakens nude on a riverbed with countless others. Humans from all eras and geographies appear to have been reincarnated in such a way. There is even an alien or two among them.
Soon Neanderthal and 20th century Jew and 19th century Englishman and 21st century American are traveling together. How long is the River? Who brought them there? Can they die in this new situation? Only one way to find out.
