The Gods of Riverworld (Riverworld #5) (1983)

by Philip Jose Farmer



Having reached the tower of the Ethicals in the previous volume, Burton and his comrades must solve the mysterious death of the last Ethical and come to terms with their own godlike powers of resurrection now that they are in control of the tower's machinery.

 


I was disappointed by the first four novels, but, unfortunately, I am OCD when it comes to series, so I felt compelled to read this book anyway. 



(I also have "Quest to Riverworld" on my bookshelf.) 



The narrative often gets lost in the backstories and side stories of the numerous characters, so author Philip Jose Farmer doesn't manage to build up much narrative drive.
