Great announcement from the publisher:

«Meteor House, as a part of the yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Philip José Farmer, is thrilled to announce the first hardcover publication of his authorized Tarzan novel, Tarzan and the Dark Heart of Time—a book that takes place in 1918, the year of Farmer’s birth!

One of the most famous heroes in literature is back! Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, returns with a vengeance in this action-packed adventure by Philip José Farmer, Hugo Award winner, Nebula Grand Master, and author of the incredible Riverworld saga.»


«In addition, this handsome new edition, which sports a gorgeous painted cover by well known Burroughs artist Mark Wheatley, a new Foreword by longtime Burroughs scholar Robert R. Barrett, and a new Introduction by Farmer expert Win Scott Eckert, will also be released in a trade paperback edition.»

The book, a reissue of The Dark Heart of Time (1999), will be released at FarmerCon 100, held in conjunction with PulpFest 2018 in Pittsburgh, PA, July 26-29.
Hardcover for $35, and the trade paperback for $20. You can preorder them now at Meteor House!

Christopher Paul Carey has sent off the manuscript of The Grandest Adventure: Writings on Philip José Farmer 1996-2018 (the tentative title) to the publisher.
Chris: "Wow, what a trip down memory lane that was to write the preface and read through the manuscript! More than 76,000 words!"

No further details at this moment, other than that it may be published in the Summer of 2018.
As I understood from Chris it will not be published by Meteor House.

Publisher Mnémos in France released a third omnibus with novels by Philip José Farmer. In 2016 they published the five Riverworld novels as Le Monde du fleuve, and the three Opar / Khokarsa novels as Opar.
And now in 2018 they have the omnibus Thoan. This contains all seven novels of the World of Tiers series: Le faiseur d'univers - Les portes de la création - Cosmos privé - Les murs de la Terre - Le monde Lavalite - La rage d'Orc le Rouge - Plus fort que le feu.


I ordered the book, and received the confirmation that it has been sent. As soon as I receive it I will add the information in the Bibliography.

The omnibus has about 1200 pages and cost €35.00. You can order it through Amazon.fr (ISBN 978-2354086145).

From the Russian online shop Ozon.ru I received, within a week, two parcels with twelve books from Russia and Ukraine. All are hardcovers.


The books, omnibuses and anthologies, are already known and included in the bibliography. I will check the data in the bibliography against the books, and correct these if necessary. Also will replace the covers with my own scans.
This will keep me busy for a while...
And I need more bookshelves.

Meteor House is celebrating Farmer's 100th Birthday with a huge collection. Nearly 950 pages with 58 pieces of short fiction and non-fiction, all by the Grand Master Philip José Farmer.

This book, The Philip José Farmer Centennial Collection, will be released at FarmerCon 100, July 26-29, 2018, in Pittsburgh, PA.
I love the cover, done by Mark Wheatly.


«The contents have been chosen to illustrate not only the science fiction Grand Master’s career, but his life as well. Featuring an introduction by Joe R. Lansdale, a foreword by Tracy Knight, a bibliography by Zacharias L.A. Nuninga, a decade by decade summary of his career, and two different covers by Mark Wheatley! The book is available in both trade paperback and hardcover.»

You can preorder one of the editions, or both of course, now.
It is $50 for the hardcover and $35 for the trade paperback, plus shipping.

I wonder if Meteor House has more surprises for us this year.
