The epic, adventure-filled sequel to Hadon of Ancient Opar!

Published for the first time anywhere, the Restored Edition of Philip José 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. This new Meteor House edition is the first and only publication of the novel ever to include the excised material, which encompasses long passages of narrative, dialogue, and rich world-building details on Ancient Opar and the civilization of Khokarsa that readers have never previously been able to enjoy―until now.

The Restored Edition of Flight to Opar also features rare and previously unpublished bonus material, including:

* A Preface to the Restored Edition by Christopher Paul Carey (coauthor with Philip José Farmer of The Song of Kwasin, the third novel in the Khokarsa series)
* A brand-new introduction by S. M. Stirling (New York Times bestselling author of the Change series)
* The Khokarsan Language by Philip José Farmer
* Khokarsan Glossary by Philip José Farmer and Christopher Paul Carey
* A Guide to Khokarsa by Christopher Paul Carey

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.

This is a great adventure and reads a lot like Edgar Rice Burroughs ...

The second part of what was supposed to be a series. I am looking now for what was to be #3. It was finished by another author and is being printed. This is a great adventure and reads a lot like Edgar Rice Burroughs fantasies and sci-fi.

Finding Farmer was a rewarding way of continuing a childhood love affair into adulthood

I grew up with Tarzan and John Carter of Mars. Finding Farmer was a rewarding way of continuing a childhood love affair into adulthood. (And full warning: Some of his stuff can be very adult!) If you approach this for what it is, a couple of hours worth of harmless escapism, it truly is worth the read.

The Definitive Edition of Flight to Opar

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2015

Flight to Opar - Restored Edition is the DEFINITIVE edition of the second installment of Philip José Farmer's Ancient Opar/Khokarsa series. The Restored Edition includes passages that were apparently deleted from the original DAW edition, for no other reason than to make a page/word count. These includes some interesting world building nuggets that offer some more insight into the mythology Farmer created for Khokarsa. The creation myth regarding the Strait of Keth is a personal favorite of mine that appears in this new edition. There's also some nice bonus features including Farmer's outline of the novel, early notes on the Khokarsa series, and a cross-sectional map that Farmer drew of Opar. There's also a Guide to Khokarsa, an essay on the language of Khokarsa, and a handy glossary. There is also an informative preface by the editor of this edition, Christopher Paul Carey, on the process of restoring the passages and his mindset in editing the book.

As for the story, it's a damn good one. It picks up where Book 1 of the Khokarsa Series, Hadon of Ancient Opar (Khokarsa Series #1 - Wold Newton Prehistory) (Wold Newton Novels) left off. This is fast paced adventure novel that's sure to thrill fans of both jungle adventure and sword-and-sorcery. If you've been waiting on Book 2 of the Khokarsa Series, join Hadon and his friends on their attempt to fulfill a prophecy, which will see them free-falling south through he Khokarsan Empire with Hadon's home city of Opar as their end goal.
