Description

by Jeffrey J. Mariotte
Cover art by Douglas Klauba
Frontispiece by Chris Gardner

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.

Tarzan and the Forest of Stone is available in softcover and hardcover editions, as well as a hardcover Collector’s Edition with a signed bookplate.
