The Worlds of Philip Jose Farmer 4: Voyages to Strange Days

Patricia Wildman, the daughter of the world-renowned adventurer and crimefighter of the 1930s and '40s, Dr. James Clarke "Doc" Wildman, is all alone in the world when she inherits the family estate in Derbyshire, England-in true Gothic tradition, old, dark, and supposedly haunted. But is the ghost real, or a clever sham perpetrated by others to scare her off? As Patricia contends with the questionable motives of her distant relatives, attempts to discern friend from foe, and battles to overcome mysterious attackers, she struggles to reconcile the supernatural with her rational scientific upbringing, while also attempting to work through unresolved feelings about her late parents. Set at Pemberley from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and deeply ingrained in worlds of Sherlock Holmes and Lord Greystoke-as well as the bronze champion of justice, Doc Wildman-The Evil in Pemberley House is a darkly erotic novel with broad appeal to readers of pulp and popular literature, and fans of Philip José Farmer's own celebrated Wold Newton Family.

Genre Fiction

It is 1897 and the skies are haunted by mysterious airships and unfathomable secrets. Tasked with hunting down these strange vehicles of the air and determining their origin and intent, two U.S. government agents toil under unusual conditions to supply their shadowy superiors with information. But that information proves to be as elusive as the airships themselves. Ride with Agents Valiantine and Cabot across the Midwest as they encounter reports of strange lights, phantom soldiers, unreliable witnesses, and the ultimate source of their airborne prey. They are the Airship Hunters, and they cannot be waylaid from their path to uncover the greatest mystery of them all.

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 The Restored Edition of Flight to Opar also features rare and previously unpublished bonus material, including: * A Preface to the Restored Edition by Christopher Paul Carey (coauthor with Philip José Farmer of The Song of Kwasin, the third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 * Early Notes on the Khokarsa Series by Philip José Farmer * Original Outline to Flight to Opar by Philip José Farmer * Cross-section Map of Opar by Philip José Farmer 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.

Flight to Opar: Khokarsa Series #2 - Restored Edition

Literary

This first standalone edition of Philip José Farmer and Christopher Paul Carey's critically acclaimed novel, The Song of Kwasin―the third volume of the Khokarsa series―contains a host of rare and previously unpublished bonus materials, including: a brand-new introduction by noted author and critic Paul Di Filippo; a preface to the Meteor House edition by Christopher Paul Carey; "Kwasin and the Bear God" by Philip José Farmer and Christopher Paul Carey (a 20,000-word novella featuring a lost adventure of Kwasin); The Khokarsan Calendar by Philip José Farmer; The Plants of Khokarsa by Philip José Farmer; A Guide to Khokarsa by Christopher Paul Carey; Philip José Farmer’s notes on the Khokarsa series, including his original and alternate outlines to The Song of Kwasin; and correspondence by Philip José Farmer to Frank J. Brueckel and John Harwood, authors of "Heritage of the Flaming God," the monumental essay that inspired the Khokarsa series. After years of exile in the Wild Lands, the giant warrior Kwasin of Dythbeth returns to the mighty Khokarsan Empire seeking the oracle's forgiveness, only to find his native land torn asunder in a bloody civil war. The tyrannical King Minruth has usurped the throne from his daughter Awineth and, allied with the priests of the sun god Resu, overturned the beneficent, centuries-old rule of the priestesses of the goddess Kho. His spoiled cousin Hadon having fled with his companions to far-flung Opar, Kwasin soon finds he will have to take up the cause alone against Minruth the Mad. Wielding his massive Ax of Victory, forged from the heart of a fallen star, Kwasin sets out to reconquer the throne of Khokarsa. But when he finds himself caught between a vengeful queen who seeks to control him and a conspiring priest who wants him dead, Kwasin must decide between reining in his unruly passions or unleashing them in a fury that could hurl the empire into oblivion. For the high priestess has decreed that unless Kwasin can master his wild nature and stop King Minruth before he attains immortality in an unholy ritual of the sun god, Great Kho will destroy all the land!
