Synopsis: When American war zone journalist Matt Ellman and his fiancée, Jessie Machalan, are killed in an explosion, Matt awakens, separated from Jessie, on the banks of a river snaking endlessly across a mysterious new plane of existence. On Riverworld, everyone who has ever lived on Earth, ever soul throughout time, has been reborn along the banks of a seemingly endless river. Determined to locate Jessie, Matt aligns with Tomoe, a 13th century female warrior, Allegra, a 15th century courtesan of shifting alliances, and American novelist and Riverboat captain Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain. With a full crew of adventurers, they embark upriver to understand where they are, why they are here, and to what unknowable end the river winds…

I'm a big fan of PJF but if this is anywhere near as bad as the job that was made of UKleGs' "A Wizard of Earthsea" then the whole cast and crew shuold be shot! That crap put me off "mini-series" forever.:mad:
