The lost city of Opar was first introduced to readers in the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Hidden deep in Africa, it is a place shrouded in mystery and awash with incredible riches. In Hadon of Ancient Opar, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Philip José Farmer reimagines this forgotten land, revealing the heroes who lived in its prehistoric golden age . . .
A poor young man of great ambition, Hadon leaves his village to enter 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 beyond the empire's edge, where he finds himself embroiled in civil war.
