I felt the title was a little misleading since neither of the two stories in this volume were 'suppressed'. The first story, Jesus on Mars, is an abridged version of the novel that was supposed to be printed in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Due to editing problems and time constraints, the book came out before the story could be run. The second story, Riverworld War, is a chapter that was cut from THE MAGIC LABYRINTH. Many of Farmer's stories have been rewritten in longer or shorter forms of the original. I greatly enjoy reading these other versions of familiar stories, kind of like hearing studio outtakes and live recordings of your favorite song.
