SHORT FICTION INDEX NEXT STORY PREVIOUS STORY	The Felled Star (Parts I and II) Genre Science fiction Type Novella (serial in two parts) Series Riverworld A section of the science fiction novel The Fabulous Riverboat. See also "The Fabulous Riverboat" (1971), the second part of the novel. DESCRIPTION: The planet was called Riverworld — huge and mysterious, with one central river that flowed for countless thousands of miles from a hidden source to an unknown end. But worse than the violation of all known physical laws that the planet itself displayed, there was the mystery of how — and why — all humanity had been reborn along the shores of the great river. But reborn they were, everyone from the first prehistoric humans to the latter-day inhabitants of the Moon. Sam Clemens is one who finds himself reborn on Riverworld; and with a shipload of reincarnated Vikings and a blood-brother whose first life was spent hunting saber-tooth tigers and mastodons, he has sailed the great river as he did the Mississippi of old. But his voyage comes to a stop when a great meteorite plunges into the stream.   PUBLICATION HISTORY | US | FRANCE |	4 Publications
