Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library: Book 24

1st printing. Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Art and cover by Joe Jusko. Stranded on an uncharted Pacific island, Tarzan is forced to take command of an ill-sorted party-English aristocrats, a Dutch officer, a woman of doubtful reputation-to ensure their safety from a band of mutineers led by a madman. A lost colony of Mayans, avid for potential victims for their barbarous human sacrifices, only add to their danger. But the Lord of the Jungle has unexpected allies... Cast away with his band is a shipment of African animals unknown to the island, striking terror in the hearts of the Mayans and mutineers alike-but old friends and familiar antagonists to the man brought up among them: Tarzan of the Apes. This special Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library edition includes the first publication anywhere of "Murder in the Jungle," the original version of "Tarzan and the Jungle Murders," taken directly from Edgar Rice Burroughs' typescript before the story was heavily rewritten by a pulp magazine editor. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 380 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $36.95.

Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library: Book 22

1st printing. Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Art and cover by Joe Jusko. When an American bomber crashes in the jungles of enemy-held Sumatra, the survivors face the perils of a completely unknown world... and the RAF colonel who flew with them as observer only seems to compound their danger by going mad-stripping to a loincloth and throwing away his weapons except for his knife. But for Colonel John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, the hazards of wild beasts and a remorseless enemy are a familiar and joyously accepted challenge-a chance to return to his true identity of Tarzan of the Apes. Gathering a motley crew of allies of many nations, Tarzan works a terrible vengeance on the occupying Japanese and leads an epic trek to the coast-to a final ocean rendezvous with enemies human and inhuman. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 338 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $36.95.

Written by Jeff Mariotte. Cover by Doug Klauba. Frontispiece by Chris Gardner.

The groundbreaking Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe series continues with Tarzan and the Forest of Stone, a brand-new standalone novella by critically acclaimed author Jeffrey J. Mariotte. This exciting tale is set directly after the events of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic novel Tarzan and the Lion Man!

After Tarzan departs Southern California following a visit with a dear friend, bandits mysteriously dressed as cowboys straight out of the Old West waylay his train and make off with a precious Native American artifact-taking the daughter of the relic's owner hostage in the process.

Now Tarzan must set off on foot from the train's wrecked and twisted ruins in pursuit of the criminals, making his way across the American Southwest, a land as different from his jungle homeland as can be imagined. But even as Tarzan closes in on his prey, a ruthless killer follows close at his heels, intent on bringing an end to the legendary Lord of the Jungle once and for all.

By Edgar Rice Burroughs. Cover and Frontispiece by Joe Jusko. Foreword by Joe R Lansdale. Rear Jacket Photo: Edgar Rice Burroughs at his Tarzana Ranch (undated).

David Innes was a captive in Pellucidar, the strange world within a world that lies under the Earth's crust. To rescue him, Tarzan comes into that savage, prehistoric land at the head of an expedition equipped with every modern device. But Pellucidar is not like the jungles the ape-man knows.

Here are saber-toothed tigers and every savage creature from the beginning of time. Here the horizon curves back on itself and the sun hangs always in the middle of the sky. And now, for the first time, Tarzan is hopelessly lost in a land teeming with unknown, gigantic killers... where even time has no meaning!
