Riverworld War: The Suppressed Fiction of Philip José Farmer

by Philip José Farmer

This book contains two stories which despite the subtitle weren't exactly 'suppressed'.
The first story, "Jesus on Mars", is an abridged version of the novel that was supposed to be printed in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Due to editing problems and time constraints, the book came out before the story could be run.
The second story, "Riverworld War", is a chapter that was cut from the Riverworld novel The Magic Labyrinth.

Farmer is best known for his Riverworld series and the earlier World of Tiers series.
