The Beasts of Tarzan

Stranded, betrayed, and hunted, Tarzan unleashes the full fury of the jungle in one of the most relentless adventures of the saga. In The Beasts of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs strips the Lord of Greystoke of comfort, wealth, and safety. Targeted by criminals who abduct his wife and son and maroon him upon a desolate island, Tarzan faces isolation and certain death. But the jungle has forged him for worse trials than this. With the aid of Sheeta, a deadly panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan escapes captivity and returns to the mainland-no longer the polished English nobleman, but the primal hunter reborn. Joined by the fiercest allies the wild can offer, he sets out in ruthless pursuit of those who dared to harm his family. This is Tarzan at his most elemental: man and beast intertwined, driven by loyalty and vengeance. Swift, brutal, and charged with savage intensity, The Beasts of Tarzan stands among the most visceral entries in the series.

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American novelist best known for creating some of the most enduring adventure heroes of the twentieth century. He achieved immediate success with Tarzan of the Apes (1912), introducing the jungle-born Tarzan, and soon afterward launched the Barsoom series beginning with A Princess of Mars, establishing a model for planetary romance and interplanetary adventure.Burroughs' fiction is marked by sweeping imagination, exotic settings, and fast-moving narrative momentum. His tales of lost civilizations, distant worlds, and heroic survival captured the spirit of early pulp fiction and helped shape the development of modern adventure and science fiction genres.Over the course of his career, Burroughs wrote dozens of novels across multiple series, many of which were adapted into films, comics, and radio programs. His influence remains visible in popular culture, particularly in adventure fantasy and space opera traditions that continue to draw upon the archetypes he helped define.
