    Tarzan and the Forest of Stone HC (2023 ERB Inc.) An Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe Book 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    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.

    Hardcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 180 pages, Text.

    Cover price $33.95.
