Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle/Tarzan and the Lost Empire

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE
When slave traders and safari hunters invade Tarzan's jungle kingdom, the mighty ape-man is caught up in a perilous quest for the lost Leopard City of Nimmr, a treasure land of amazing wealth. But Tarzan's cunning enemies vow his destruction, and the fabulous metropolis in the Forbidden Valley holds its own horrors of medieval mortal combat . . .

TARZAN AND THE LOST EMPIRE
While searching for a missing scholar in the treacherous Wiramwazi Mountains, Tarzan is captured by an ancient tribe of the centuries-dead Roman Empire. In this dangerous throwback to Caesar's brutal regime, Tarzan must triumph over cruel emperors, skilled gladiators, and blood-hungry lions--or he will never taste freedom again . . .

Reviews

[James · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall, these are the two best books so far. Both stories flowed better, alas Burroughs CANNOT sum up a story to leave you satisfied. Both books are similar in format, two communities separated from home for hundreds and thousands of years, living in a past system in a modern world. They both have had no contact with their own countries and seem happy with that.

Tarzan swoops in, the story flows nicely, then it stops.
