One of the better Tarzan novels with a lost civilization. ( )
  kslade | Dec 8, 2022 |
Not nearly as good as some of his earlier Tarzan books. The plot felt very repetitive as it mainly consisted of different factions chasing each other back and forth ad nauseum. I'm working through all of the Tarzan books, but if this is representative of his later works, I may not make it. ( )

You couldn’t find a finer collection of Tarzan cliches than in this tale - it’s got everything: lost cities dripping in treasure ruled by a beautiful priestess, gangs of marauding slave traders, duplicitous foreigners, an amnesiac Tarzan reverting to full on ape-man mode, Jane being a serial kidnap victim, and jungle treks and battles galore. It’s a mess of too many interwoven sub-plots and ridiculously implausible coincidences - yet it was still a fun summer read. Pure pulp adventure. ( )

Love triangle! Passionate priestess! Gold! Jewels! Human sacrifice! Amnesia! Jane gets kidnapped (again)! Ravenous lions! People chasing after each other all over Africa!

It's a Tarzan book. Good stuff. ( )

Tarzan is injured and loses his memory. Poor Jane is captured, escapes, captured, escapes over and over. ( )

First words
Lieutenant Albert Werper had only the prestige of the name he had dishonored to thank for his narrow escape from being cashiered.
Quotations
It were easier to question a man first and kill him afterward, than kill him first and then question him.
