COVER TEXT:
Gods of
Opar: Tales of Lost Khokarsa
collects for the first time anywhere Philip José
Farmer’s
epic Khokarsa cycle, including the never-before-published conclusion to
the trilogy, The Song
of Kwasin.
In Hadon of Ancient Opar,
the young hero Hadon journeys from his outpost city to the heart of the
ancient African empire of Khokarsa, battling in the Great Games for the
chance to win the king’s crown. But just as Hadon stands upon
the precipice of victory, the tyrannical King Minruth usurps the throne
and overturns the beneficent, centuries-old rule of the priestesses of
Kho. Now Hadon must set out upon a hero’s journey unlike any
other—to hunt down a living god and return with his bounty.
The saga continues in Flight
to Opar, as a decree by the oracle hurtles Hadon upon a
perilous quest that will determine the fate of the next twelve
millennia.
In The Song
of Kwasin,
Hadon’s herculean cousin returns to Khokarsa after long years
of exile in the Wild Lands. But soon Kwasin finds that in order to
clear his name he will have to take up the cause against King Minruth
himself and stop him before he fulfills his mad quest for immortality
high atop the sun god’s bloody ziggurat.
