Tarzan the Terrible

Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Narrated by Rusty Nelson

In this novel two months have gone by and Tarzan is continuing to search for Jane. He has tracked her to a hidden valley called Pal-ul-don, which means "Land of Men." In Pal-ul-don Tarzan finds a real Jurassic Park filled with dinosaurs, notably the savage Triceratops-like Gryfs, which unlike their prehistoric counterparts are predatory. Jane is also being held captive in Pal-ul-don where she becomes a pawn in a religious power struggle. Tarzan continues to pursue the rescue of his beloved, going through an extended series of fights and escapes to do so. In the end success seems beyond even his ability to achieve.

Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.

Reviews for Tarzan the Terrible

Different from his novels, but interesting look at Tarzan's thought processes as he tries to figure out the world with no help.

Burroughs had become a more sophisticated writer by the time he wrote "Jungle Tales of Tarzan". He had also realized that his readers would really enjoy more tales of the youthful Tarzan, growing up, surviving his youth among the tribe of anthropoid apes, and generally having adventures before his encounter with civilization.Tarzan is so much cooler than Conan the Cimmerian!I listened to the narration from LibriVox, and it was quite as good as the work of some professional narrators.

Really liked this book. It gives a detailed view of Tarzan on a more personal level. Great read.
