Russian omnibus 'Ancient Africa'
29 Oct 2017
 
Russian publisher Северо-Запад (Severo-Zapad) in St. Petersburg released in May 2017 the omnibus Древняя Африка (Drevnyaya Afrika). Translated: Ancient Africa.

It contains the first two books in the Opar/Khokarsa series, Hadon of Ancient Opar and Flight to Opar, the novel Ironcastle, and finally the three novellas in the Greatheart Silver series. These three were published in the US in novel form as Greatheart Silver.

According to Fantlab, a Russian online bibliography, this book had a print run of only 30 copies. I have no idea why this is, because normally the print run of Russian books is between 10,000 and 100,000 copies.
I haven't been able to buy a copy. A book shop in Ukraine had a copy but they could not help me. There is no way to pay them in Ukraine.

This last one is with two novels and one novella.
