Edgar Rice Burroughs unleashes the legendary Tarzan on a new and perilous adventure in "Tarzan and the Lost Empire." Join the Lord of the Jungle as he navigates uncharted territories, battles fierce... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This adventure into a small lost civilisation of the past is a lot more fun than Lord of the Jungle. Tarzan is much more the focal character in this book, rather than a sideline character, so that helps. Running around with his simian sidekick provides some comic relief, as he comes up against a couple of tinpot Caesars, manhandles one, overcomes in the arena, survives a siege, and topples some government. Definitely entertaining. "He rose from the throne and raised his hand for silence. The hum of voices ceased. "Caesar is dead, but upon someone of you must fall the mantle of Caesar." "Long live Tarzan! Long live the new Caesar!" cried one of the gladiators, and instantly every Sanguinarian in the room took up the cry." Tarzan doesn't really fancy the job, so makes a suggestion that one of his martial Roman friends would fill the void nicely.
