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.
