Peter Jairus Frigate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Jairus Frigate is a fictionalized version of the science fiction author Philip José Farmer, which appeared in his Riverworld series of novels.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Confusingly, it is only towards the end of the series that the true Peter Jairus Frigate appears - the one in the earlier volumes was in fact an impostor.

Spoilers end here.

Note that in Farmer's other major series of books World of Tiers, a major character also has the same initials as the author: Paul Janus Finnegan who usually goes by the nickname Kickaha. This character is also a fictionalized (or one imagines an idealized) version of the author.
