  <default_description>Thirty-five billion people from throughout Earth's history were resurrected along the great &amp; winding waterways of Riverworld. Most began life anew--accepting without question the sustenance provided by their mysterious benefactors. But a rebellious handful burned to confront the unseen masters who control their fate--&amp; these few launched an invasion that would ultimately yield the mind-boggling truth. Now Riverworld's omnipotent leaders have been confronted, &amp; the renegades of Riverworld--led by the intrepid Sir Richard Francis Burton--control the fantastic mechanism that once ruled them. But the most awesome challenge lies ahead. For in the vast corridors &amp; secret rooms of the tower stronghold, an unknown enemy watches &amp; waits to usurp the usurpers. </default_description>
