Tarzan and the Dark Heart of Time (Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe)

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, returns with a vengeance in this action-packed adventure by Philip José Farmer, Hugo Award winner, Nebula Grand Master, and author of the acclaimed Riverworld saga.

Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane, has been kidnapped, and the furious ape-man will let nothing stand in the way of rescuing her--not even a sinister safari whose target is Tarzan himself. With fierce Masai trackers leading the chase, a trio of white hunters are hellbent on capturing the Jungle Lord. But as the pursuers, and their uncanny half-human tracker, close in from behind, Tarzan races toward even greater danger ahead. For the trail leads to a bizarre, long-forgotten land boasting a multitude of strange and terrifying mysteries: the City Built by God, the Hideous Hunter, the One to Avoid, and most shocking of all, the Crystal Tree of Time--whose seductive powers could ultimately spell Tarzan's doom...

Three-time Hugo Award winner and Nebula Grand Master, Philip Jose Farmer (1918-2009) has long been recognized as one of the foremost writers in science fiction and fantasy. He is best known for his Riverworld and the World of Tiers series, and is the author of Tarzan Alive: A Definitive Biography of Lord Greystoke.
