Tarzan the Terrible

At the end of Tarzan the Untamed, Lieutenant Obergatz fled in terror from Tarzan of the Apes. Tarzan has learned that Obergatz might hold his Jane captive. She might not be Dead! Now, to find that which is most important to him, Tarzan must follow a cold trail across seemingly impassable marshes into Pal ul don- a savage land where primitive Waz don and Ho don fight fiercely, wielding knives with their long, prehensile tails; and where mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time.

Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in 1875 in Chicago and is best known for creating Tarzan and Barsoom (Mars). He worked in various fields, including as a soldier, cowboy, and businessman, before becoming a writer. His big break came in 1912 with Tarzan of the Apes, which launched his literary career.Burroughs' Tarzan novels were hugely popular, leading to numerous sequels and adaptations in film, TV, and comics. His works defined the adventure genre in pulp fiction and captivated readers with tales of exotic worlds. In addition to Tarzan, he created the Barsoom and Pellucidar series, blending science fiction and fantasy.Despite mixed critical reception, Burroughs became one of the most successful authors of his time, writing hundreds of novels, short stories, and articles. He died in 1950, but his legacy lives on through his characters, especially Tarzan. His influence on modern adventure storytelling and popular culture remains significant.
