Philip Jose Farmer

Published for the first time anywhere, the Restored Edition of Philip Jose Farmer’s Flight to Opar features nearly 4,000 words that were cut from Farmer’s original manuscript when the novel was published in 1976.

Hadon of Opar was the winner of the Great Games and the rightful claimant to the throne of Khokarsa, a mighty empire that stretched along the shores of ancient Africa’s great inland seas. But the old king has refused to surrender his power, and Hadon finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody civil war between the zealous priests of the sun god and the beneficent priestesses of the great mother goddess.

Now a divination of the oracle hurls Hadon on his most dangerous adventure yet. With a tyrant’s armies and warships hot on their heels, Hadon and his companions must set out on a journey through perilous jungles and across storm-racked seas to reach the city of his birth for only in far-flung golden Opar can he fulfill the oracle’s prophecy and save the land from utter doom.
