Opar, a lost colony of Atlantis, hidden deep in the heart of Africa, is shrouded in mystery and awash with incredible riches. From this ancient city comes Hadon, an impoverished but ambitious young man who sets out to enter and win the great games of Klakor—a bloody contest in which only the strongest and most cunning warrior will survive. He seeks the ultimate prize: to rule the Khokarsan Empire alongside the powerful High Priestess. But his quest for the throne leads him into the wild lands beyond the empire’s edge, where he finds himself embroiled in a bloody civil war…
Following last year’s publication of Time’s Last Gift, the prequel to Farmer’s Ancient Opar series, Meteor House is thrilled to announce the Signed Hardcover Limited Edition of Philip José Farmer’s Hadon of Ancient Opar. This is the first stand alone hardcover edition of one of Farmer’s seminal titles. Just like Time’s Last Gift, this edition features striking cover art by Bob Eggleton—and here is a surprise—the original Roy Krenkel illustrations from the 1974 DAW paperback edition!
This edition of Hadon of Ancient Opar also features substantial bonus material!
