Tarzan the Magnificent (Tarzan^® Book 21)

Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko
Foreword by Wolf Larson
and afterword by Henry G. Franke III

The half-dead American raved of an unknown city…of women warriors ruled by a malignant wizard…of a great diamond, the Gonfal, with strange  hypnotic power…of a long-lost English nobleman…of the savage queen who had betrayed her duty and helped him to escape. Tarzan puts little faith into Stanley Wood’s story—until he sees the power of the Gonfal draw the American in spite of himself back into the clutches of the Amazons of Kaji. Then it is that the ape-man becomes once more the implacable hunter—for though he cares nothing for diamonds or lost civilizations, no one may be allowed to harm a man the Lord of the Jungle has taken under his protection.

Tarzan and “The Foreign Legion” (Tarzan^® Book 22)

Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko
Foreword by Robert B. Zeuschner
and afterword by Henry G. Franke III

When an American bomber crashes in the jungles of enemy-held Sumatra, the survivors face the perils of a completely unknown world…and the RAF colonel who flew with them as observer only seems to compound their danger by going mad—stripping to a loincloth and throwing away his weapons except for his knife. But for Colonel John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, the hazards of wild beasts and a remorseless enemy are a familiar and joyously accepted challenge—a chance to return to his true identity of Tarzan of the Apes. Gathering a motley crew of allies of many nations, Tarzan works a terrible vengeance on the occupying Japanese and leads an epic trek to the coast—to a final ocean rendezvous with enemies human and inhuman.

Tarzan and the Madman (Tarzan^® Book 23)

Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko
Foreword by Thomas Yeates
and afterword by Henry G. Franke III

The drums boom forth an incredible message from tribe to tribe—Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, has become an enemy to all, stealing and enslaving their women…as well as the daughter of an English millionaire, who offers a princely reward for her recapture and Tarzan’s death. Certainly her captor told Sandra Pickerall that he was Tarzan…but he also told her he was God…

Tarzan follows their trail with one thought in mind—to pursue and destroy the man who has stolen his name and made it infamous in the jungle world he loves.

Tarzan and the Castaways (Tarzan^® Book 24)

Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko
Foreword by Joe Jusko
and afterword by Henry G. Franke III

Stranded on an uncharted Pacific island, Tarzan is forced to take command of an ill-sorted party—English aristocrats, a Dutch officer, a woman of doubtful reputation—to ensure their safety from a band of mutineers led by a madman. A lost colony of Mayans, avid for potential victims for their barbarous human sacrifices, only add to their danger. But the Lord of the Jungle has unexpected allies… Cast away with his band is a shipment of African animals unknown to the island, striking terror in the hearts of the Mayans and mutineers alike—but old friends and familiar antagonists to the man brought up among them…Tarzan of the Apes.
