Hand-to-hand battle in the arena, midnight attacks on his life- these are what await Tarzan in the fabulous City of Gold. The cruel, unpredictable queen Nemone has never obeyed any will but her own, and Tarzan's stubborn courage and pride put him in daily danger of death. It all begins wen Tarzan rescues the stranger Valthor from murderous shiftas. On his way to Valthor's home, he is seized by Nemone's warriors and is taken prisoner to the amazing city where even the bridges are made of gold. Strong chains hold him there, the chains of friendship for those who try to help him are not in terrible danger themselves. To every age, the Lord of the Jungle is an awe-inspiring figure. This story is a stirring part of the long Tarzan tradition. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.…
