Synopsis

Book 4 of the Tarzan Series - Special Edition Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival Materials

Unaware of his father's savage past, Tarzan and Jane's young son Jack becomes captivated by Ajax, the star of a trained ape act. Ajax--actually Tarzan's longtime friend Akut--has been brought to London by Tarzan's old enemy Alexis Paulvitch, who hopes to wreak vengeance on the ape-man.

After killing Paulvitch in self-defense, Jack and Akut flee to Africa, where they assume the wild life of Jack's mighty sire. Growing to manhood in the jungle, the Greystoke heir earns the name Korak the Killer, and befriends Meriem, an Arab waif rescued from a life of torment in her adoptive father's village.

The couple's idyllic jungle life is challenged by the arrival of evil men, whose scheme to separate the pair--and the ensuing perils--only strengthens Korak and Meriem's bond.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world's most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations beyond the farthest star. Mr. Burroughs' books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.

Win Scott Eckert is the legacy author of science fiction Grand Master Philip José Farmer's Patricia Wildman series, as well as the author of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe novel Tarzan: Battle for Pellucidar. Eckert's other professional credits include authorized tales of Zorro, the Phantom, Honey West, the Avenger, and the Green Hornet.

Joe Jusko is among today's most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko's longtime love of Burroughs' work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author's creative vision to life.
