Book description
Tarzan and the Lion Man
Edgar Rice Burroughs strips away the veneer of civilization in this seventeenth adventure.
A film crew ventures into Africa's heart, dragging modernity behind them in massive trucks. Their progress halts abruptly. Poisoned arrows from unseen enemies pin them down. No retreat possible. No clear path forward.
Burroughs builds tension with surgical precision. The trapped filmmakers face annihilation while something stranger awaits ahead. A valley where diamonds litter the ground. Where gorillas have built their own London, complete with a Thames and a king who calls himself Henry the Eighth.
Enter Tarzan. Not alone. The Lion Man accompanies him, hunting someone who shares Tarzan's face but lacks his spirit. This doppelganger becomes the story's dark mirror.
The audiobook format serves Burroughs' direct prose perfectly. No need for elaborate description when simple words carry maximum weight. The narrator's voice cuts through jungle sounds, delivering action with crisp efficiency.
What makes this installment memorable isn't just the gorilla city or the twin mystery. It's how Burroughs contrasts manufactured civilization against primal truth. The film crew brings everything except survival instinct. Tarzan carries nothing but raw capability.
The diamond valley sequence showcases Burroughs at his imaginative peak. Gorilla society mimics human structure while remaining utterly alien. King Henry VIII ruling apes creates absurdity that somehow feels inevitable in Burroughs' world.
Listeners will appreciate how spare the storytelling remains despite fantastic elements. Every sentence propels forward. No wasted words. No unnecessary flourishes. Just pure adventure distilled to its essence.
Classic Burroughs. Essential listening for series fans.

Golden Cougar
With this app, my daily routines have become moments of intellectual growth and personal enjoyment. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed.
