The Beasts of Tarzan: Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library
Description
Book 3 of the Tarzan Series - Special Edition Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival Materials
After settling at their London estate as Lord and Lady Greystoke, Tarzan and Jane find their contentment shattered by the ape-man's former enemies, the Russian spies Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch. Bent on revenge, the two villians kidnap Jane and the couple's infant son Jack, stranding Tarzan naked and alone on a remote jungle island while fleeing to the African interior.
Tarzan's savage nature reemerges as he recruits Sheeta the panther, Akut and his tribe of great apes, and the mighty warrior Mugambi to pursue the criminals up the Ugambi River into the heart of the jungle, where cannibal tribes hold sway and his desperate adversaries pursue their cruel vendetta.

About the Author
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was born in Chicago, Illinois and spent much of his adult life working various jobs. When he was unable to maintain steady employment, he began writing fiction in his spare time. He solicited pulp magazines and published his first story "Under the Moons of Mars," in 1912. It jumpstarted his literary career, which would soon consist of classic science fiction, fantasy and adventure novels. His most enduring titles include Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, which is part of the popular Barsoom novel series.
When not helping run his small family farm or spending time with his amazing wife and children, HOWARD ANDREW JONES can be found hunched over his laptop or notebook, mumbling about flashing swords and doom-haunted towers. His novels include The Chronicles of Sword and Sand (The Desert of Souls, The Waters of Eternity, The Bones of the Old Ones) and several Pathfinders Tales.
Jones has worked variously as a TV cameraman, a book editor, a recycling consultant, and a college writing instructor. He assembled and edited Bison Books's collections of Harold Lamb's historicals for the University of Nebraska Press, and served as Managing Editor of Black Gate. He edits the sword-and-sorcery magazine Tales From the Magician's Skull, and serves as Executive Editor of the Perilous Worlds book imprint.Reviews
