HADON OF ANCIENT OPAR Hardcover Signed

Opar, a lost colony of Atlantis, hidden deep in the heart of Africa, is shrouded in mystery and awash with incredible riches. From this ancient city comes Hadon, an impoverished but ambitious young man who sets out to enter and win the great games of Klakor — a bloody contest in which only the strongest and most cunning warrior will survive. He seeks the ultimate prize: to rule the Khokarsan Empire alongside the powerful High Priestess. But his quest for the throne leads him into the wild lands beyond the empire’s edge, where he finds himself embroiled in a bloody civil war. . . Following publication of Time’s Last Gift (TIMLG/TIMLGH) in 2025, the prequel to Farmer’s Ancient Opar series, Meteor House is thrilled to announce the Signed Hardcover Limited Edition of Philip José Farmer’s Hadon of Ancient Opar.
