About the Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875- 1950) is best remembered as the creator of the world famous character of Tarzan, one of the indispensable icons of popular culture. Burroughs also published science fiction and crime novels.

From the Inside Flap

Tarzan had renounced his right to the woman he loved, and civilization held no pleasure for him. After a brief and harrowing period among men, he turned back to the African jungle where he had grown to manhood. It was there he first heard of Opar, the city of gold, left over from fabled Atlantis.
It was a city of hideous men -- and of beautiful, savage women, over whom reigned La, high priestess of the Flaming God. Its altars were stained with the blood of many sacrifices. Unheeding of the dangers, Tarzan led a band of savage warriors toward the ancient crypts and the more ancient evil of Opar . . .

Reviews

The second novel in the Tarzan series opens with the aristocratic ape man aboard an ocean liner en route from New York to Europe, on which he has encounters with Russian spies, French counts, and beautiful women. This is a wonderful story that binds Tarzan eternally with Jane Porter and introduces the fabled city of Opar. Robert Whitfield's reading is nearly perfect, giving the story an air that is gallantly Victorian while intensely exciting. With the exception of female American characters, which come across as artificial, Whitfield gives his characters voices that authentically express their genders, nationalities, and temperaments.
