The main character here is James Blake, a young American who becomes lost in the jungle and wanders into a hidden community descended from the Knights of the middle ages. This is one of Burroughs' best vehicles for making pointed criticisms of modern civilization, and a ripping good story besides. When slave traders and safari hunters invade Tarzan's jungle kingdom, the mighty ape-man is caught up in a perilous quest for the lost Leopard City of Nimmr, a treasure land of amazing wealth. But Tarzan's cunning enemies vow his destruction, and the fabulous metropolis in the Forbidden Valley holds its own horrors of medieval mortal combat.... no reviews | add a review

This sums it up:-
"And so it was that Tarzan of the Apes, clad in chain mail, and armed with lance and sword, rode down into the Valley of the Sepulcher just as Bohun put his foul scheme into execution and carried off the Princess Cuinalda."
