Flight to Opar

Opar
by Philip José Farmer
Flight to Opar (Opar) by Philip José Farmer
★ 6.00 / 3
123453678910
Fabulous Opar, whose ruins and primitive priestess were memorable features of great Tarzan novels, was the birthplace of the warrior-hero Hadon. This was twelve thousand years ago, a time when great inland seas made Central Africa a land of mighty cities and high civilizations. Hadon was the rightful claimant to the throne of that long-forgotten empire, but his was no easy route to power. Instead he had become the hunted prey of a tyrant's armies, accursed by the tyrant's gods, and fighting for his very life. Philip José Farmer, chronicler of Tarzan Alive, brings it all back to live in an exciting novel to stand alongside the famous jungle books of Edgar Rice Burroughs himself.

Philip José Farmer

Philip José Farmer

Philip José Farmer (1918–2009) was an American author, principally known for his science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories. He spent much of his life in Peoria, Illinois.

Farmer is best known for his Riverworld series and the earlier World of Tiers series. He is noted for his fascination for and reworking of the lore of legendary pulp heroes, and occasional tongue-in-cheek pseudonyminous works written as if by fictional characters.
