One of the best Tarzan adventures, in which Tarzan vows vengeance upon all Germans after German soldiers have invaded his African estate in his absence and killed Jane and his Waziri. Includes Tarzan's memorable trek across a great desert and the best passage in Burroughs' body of work (pg 127). A memorable story which expands upon Tarzan's character in the belief that Jane is dead. ( )With the speed of the great apes, Tarzan rushed through the jungle toward his home and family. But he was already too late. The marauders had been there before him. His farm was in shambles and no on was left alive. Silently, he swore his terrible vengeance against those who had done this monstrous deed. Then he set out grimly to track them... through warring armies...across a vast desert that no man had ever crossed...and to a strange valley where only mad men lived. 0.037 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0345288688, Mass Market Paperback)Here is the continuing adventure of fiction’s most dramatic hero, Tarzan the ape-man. In this new episode, Tarzan has given up his jungle ways and is living contentedly on a farm with his beloved wife as a wealthy member of British nobility. But when he returns one day from a trip to Nairobi, he finds his farm has been laid waste and no one left alive on it. In grief and rage, he casts off the veneer of civilization to become once again the primitive ape-man, ranging the country in search of those who killed his mate to mete out to them the vengeance of the jungle. Never has the master fiction-writer Edgar Rice Burroughs so skillfully shown the struggles within the breast of his ape-man hero. Through dozens of suspense-filled adventures and hair-breadth escapes from danger, he tracks down his enemies and triumphs over them in a crashing, action-packed climax.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:11 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
