Philip José Farmer originally planned more novels in the Opar series than the two he wrote, see Announced Books.
The books also include:
- Three maps: Ancient Africa, Kemu, and Khokarsa,
- Description of Maps,
- Chronology of Khokarsa, with the Major Events (from 12,000 - 11,011
B.C.).
DEDICATION: "Dedicated to Hulbert Burroughs in gratitude for his
permission to write of Opar, that hidden city of "gold, and silver,
ivory, and apes, and peacocks" and of the civilization which founded
it."
COVER
TEXT:
Opar...the Atlantean colony in the heart of Tarzan's Africa.
Opar...in the words of Edgar Rice Burroughs, a hidden city of "gold and
silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks".
Opar...is the starting point of this fabulous novel of twelve
thousand years past, when Africa had an inland sea and a high
civilization bloomed along its forgotten shores, when lost
empires flew their time-vanished banners, and deed of daring were
commonplace.
Philip José Farmer, chronicler of Tarzan
Alive, teller of fabulous histories, presents here the first
great novel of Hadon of
Ancient Opar, whose claim to a throne launched
him upon an adventure in the grand style of the great masters of
fantasy.
