Philip José Farmer

16 Series

Philip José Farmer is an American author renowned for his World of Tiers and Riverworld series. He is celebrated for his focus on pulp heroes and his pioneering integration of sexual and religious themes into the genre.

In "The Maker of Universes," the first book of Philip José Farmer's World of Tiers series, Robert Wolff discovers a secret doorway while house hunting in Arizona. This portal transports him to the fantastical World of Tiers. The world is inhabited by extraordinary creatures and consists of ascending levels, far beyond Wolff's previous experiences. As Wolff navigates this new reality, he encounters challenges and wonders that test his understanding of the universe.
