Without moving a micron in space, three men and a woman onboard a timeship travel from 2070 AD to 12,000 BC—a journey that could never be repeated! For the passengers, all anthropologists, it was a once-in-a-million-lifetimes expedition, a chance to study primitive man as modern man never could. But none of them was prepared for what they would discover—or for the impact of their travels in a time that had yet to come…

Time’s Last Gift is a prequel to Farmer’s Ancient Opar series and a big fan favorite. Originally only published in paperback (Ballantine, 1972), Time’s Last Gift, has been reprinted many times through the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, but always in paperback.

Meteor House is proud to give Time’s Last Gift the hardcover limited edition it deserves, with stunning cover and interior art by Bob Eggleton. This edition also features substantial bonus material by Famer experts:

Bonus Features:

  • An introduction, “The Great Escape,” by Paul Spiteri
  • An Afterword, “Gribardsun and the Wold Newton Family,” by Christopher Paul Carey
  • “Gribardsun through the Ages: A Chronology of Major Events Pertinent to Time’s Last Gift,” by Win Scott Eckert and Dennis E. Power

The hardcover (signed by Eggleton, Spiteri, Carey, Eckert, and Power) features a leatherette cover with gold foil stamping and custom printed color end papers—a high quality collectible in the tradition of Meteor House’s prior limited edition hardcovers.

As always the print run of the Signed Hardcover Limited Edition will be determined by the number of preorders we receive. We’re taking preorders now and both editions will ship this summer.
