Book 21 of the Tarzan\u00ae Series \u2013 Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival Materials<\/h3>\n

The half-dead American raved of an unknown city\u2026of women warriors ruled by a malignant wizard…of a great diamond, the Gonfal, with strange\u00a0 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\u2019s story\u2014until 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\u2014for 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.<\/p>\n

Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure<\/h3>\n

The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world\u2019s most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations beyond the farthest star. Mr. Burroughs\u2019 books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.<\/p>\n

Joe Jusko: Visionary Artist<\/h3>\n

Joe Jusko is among today\u2019s most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko\u2019s longtime love of Burroughs\u2019 work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author\u2019s creative vision to life.<\/p>\n
