Opar, the lost colony of Atlantis, is hidden deep in the heart of Africa, awash with incredible riches. From this ancient city comes Hadon, an impoverished but ambitious young man who sets out to win the great games of Klakor, and thus become king of the Khokarsan Empire. As his quest for the throne leads him into the wild lands beyond the empire's edge, Hadon finds himself embroiled in a bloody civil war. Featuring a brand-new introduction and afterword by Christopher Paul Carey ( Gods of Opar: Tales of Lost Khokarsa )
Flight to Opar is a fantasy novel by Philip José Farmer, first published in paperback by DAW Books in June 1976, and reprinted twice through 1983. The first British edition was published by Magnum in 1977.[1] The novel is a sequel to Farmer's earlier novel Hadon of Ancient Opar. Both books purport to fill in some of the ancient history of the lost city of Opar, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs as a setting for his Tarzan series.
