Summary Book Blurb New York: Del Ray (Ballantine)
|
For nearly fifty years, Edgar Rice Burroughs's last Tarzan manuscript lay
untouched and unfinished, locked away in a vault. It was the stuff of
legend until, finally, the magnificent tale was completed, with the help
of award-wining author Jos R. Lansdale.
Once again the roar of Tarzan resounds through Africa as the Lord of the Jungle battles the savage creatures of the wild and helps a beautiful woman search for ancient Ur, lost city of gold. But Tarzan discovers they aren't alone in their quest. For evil follows in his path, and terror awaits him and his fierce lion Jad-bal-ja. Incredible treasures lie in the ancient city, and horrors even more awesome hunger to destroy the mighty hero. | |
