Book #4 in The Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series – available now! With interior illustrations by Mike Grell and cover art by Tom Gianni
The Greystoke Legacy Under Siege lifts the TARZAN series to new, ground-breaking heights with a high adventure that immerses TARZAN and his offspring in an epic battle for their family’s survival. Set in the 1980s:
- Includes a solution to the real-life murder of Dian Fossey, who devoted her life to the study and preservation of African gorillas;
- Introduces Tarzan’s great grandson, Jonathan – a young man struggling to seek his place in an adult world;
- Unveils the inner workings of Tarzan’s massive family wealth – the Greystoke Trust, a London-based financial estate whose global influence reaches into the highest levels of business and government.
This rapid, page-turning adventure travels from Africa to London to Paris and to Moscow in pursuit of justice because the family is Under Seige:
- Tarzan’s African estate is demolished by an unknown guerrilla militia, leaving in its wake a leveled complex littered with the dead;
- The Greystoke Trust, run by grandson Jackie, is accused of capital crimes against the Crown, and Jackie is jailed;
- Son Jack, the last known person to meet with Dian Fossey, is accused of her murder and is sought by African authorities;
- Jonathan’s airplane is shot down and crash lands into the African jungle forcing him to call upon his instincts, heritage and martial arts training to survive.
This leap into the late 20th Century will provide intense excitement as chapter after chapter leaves doubt as to the survival of the Greystokes and their legacy. Order now – books ship starting June 12. Visit ERBurroughs.com/store

Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy Under Siege is the first in a series of such stories along this precept. He currently lives in southwest Virginia.
