COVER
TEXT:
Fabulous Opar, whose ruins and primitive priestess were memorable
features of great Tarzan novels, was the birthplace of the warrior-hero
Hadon.
This was twelve thousand years ago, a time when great inland
seas made Central Africa a land of mighty cities and high civilizations.
Hadon was the rightful claimant to the throne of that long-forgotten
empire, but his was no easy route to power. Instead he had become the
hunted prey of a tyrant's armies, accursed by the tyrant's gods, and
fighting for his very life.
Philip José Farmer, chronicler of Tarzan Alive,
brings it all back to live in an exciting novel to stand alongside the
famous jungle books of Edgar Rice Burroughs himself.
