Introduction to political science; a treatise on the origin, nature, functions, and organiza... Book

This is a wonderful book, so creative and evocative. I have favorite books in every genre. In fantasy my fave is The Wind Up Girl,(a fantastic book), To Your Scattered Bodies Go is up there in the top five of fantasy. This is a book about resurrection and the premise is a little out there. When a person dies the wake up on a 4 million mile long river with a grail around their necks. The point of view character is Richard Burton, the explorer not the actor. Everyday the people on the river puts their grail in a rock and there is blue flash. The grail has a hot meal, drugs. This world has the usual players who were bad in the real world. If you like fantasy, give this one a whirl. I highly recommend it.
