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-valished banners, and deeds 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.

Fully illustrated by Roy Krenkell.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
