Mostly OK Tarzan novel with a revenge plot against the Germans who kidnapped Jane. Sort of violent and racist, but it did not have a big effect on me when I first read it at a young age. I loved most of the series that I read. Books were better than the Hollywood movies. ( )

Jane grows yet more redoubtable and there are heroic figures everywhere. Of its kind, it is the best. ( )

The story picks up where Tarzan the Untamed left off.
While Tarzan searches for Jane he discovers a land of dinosaurs and monkey/people.
We see more of Jane and her struggles. ( )

Ok, this one was a bit strange in comparison to the previous seven. It was a bit hard to follow because of all the odd names of people places and things. At times it was hard to remember who was who. Overall the story was great. I love that Korak was reintroduced. ( )
  Spyderman58 | Sep 7, 2013 |
One of the ape-man's more enthralling adventures, where he follows the lead of a dead German officer to follow his kidnaped wifr to the depths of Pal-ul-don, a prehistoric land forgotten by time. The adventures are top-notch, and Burroughs is adept here at using the primitive society of Pal-ul-don to make pointed comparisons with modern civilization. More often than not, civilized society comes off second best. The reunion of Tarzan and Jane is atypically poignant for these adventures. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Silent as the shadows through which he moved, the great beast slunk through the midnight jungle, his yellow-green eyes round and staring, his sinewy tail undulating behind him, his head lowered and flattened, every muscle vibrant to the thrill of the hunt.
