The author really stretched believability in this novel where he wanders far from his character's basic beliefs and totally dismisses his past relationships. Includes avatar gorilla English speakers and Hollywood hijinks. ( ) Tarzan rescues a movie company shooting film in Africa from a band of talking and intelligent gorillas. A fairly routine adventure is redeemed by Tarzan's encounter with an identical twin (not the last time), the beginnings of a sense of humor developing in Tarzan's personality, and his trip to Hollywood to observe a movie being made, where he is considered and rejected for the part of - Tarzan. Like the great hunting beast that he is, Tarzan watchfully tracks the strangest safari Africa has ever seen; ten-ton trucks, cameras, tents, hundreds of porters, hunters, workmen – an endless snake coiling through his beloved jungle. Until they come to Bansute country and the silent poisoned arrows of that savage tribe throw all the panoply of civilization into helpless panic! no reviews | add a review
A great safari had come to Africa to make a movie. It had struggled across the veldt and through the jungle in great ten-ton trucks, equipped with all the advantages of civilization. But now it was halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There was no way to return. And ahead lay the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas lived in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. Behind them came Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks -- though hardly in courage! No library descriptions found. |
