A Tarzan Tale Unlike Any Other<\/h3>\n

The year 1966 saw the release of one of the most unique Tarzan films ever made: Tarzan and the Valley of Gold<\/em>. Starring former NFL linebacker Mike Henry in his debut as the cinematic ape-man, the film portrayed a cultured and refined Tarzan who seemed to be molded more after James Bond than the unsophisticated ape-man of past films. The depiction surprised and puzzled some moviegoers, but fans who had read the original Tarzan novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs rejoiced at finally seeing their beloved character appear on the big screen bearing all the complexity and intelligence with which his creator had imbued him.<\/p>\n

Enter critically acclaimed fantasy author Fritz Leiber, whose novelization of the film carried the honor of becoming the first authorized Tarzan novel to be written by an author other than Burroughs. Leiber\u2019s tale was far from just a simple retelling of the movie; it was a faithful installment in the literary saga of the ape-man, with frequent callouts to Burroughs\u2019 original Tarzan canon and myriad creative elements added to the storyline. Now readers can once again enjoy Fritz Leiber\u2019s classic Tarzan and the Valley of Gold\u00a0<\/em>in this handsome, new illustrated edition.<\/p>\n

The Valley of Gold…and Death<\/h3>\n

The burning wreck of a passenger jet with a missing cargo of gold and a desperate plea from a friend lead Tarzan of the Apes deep into intrigue in the jungles of Brazil. Soon the ape-man finds himself facing his most deadly nemesis yet: a criminal mastermind named Vinaro, whose enemies perish in mysterious explosions of gold and flame. But that may be only the beginning of Tarzan\u2019s challenges. For if he is to defeat Vinaro, Tarzan must confront him in the legendary golden city of Tucumai, from where no outsider has ever returned.<\/em><\/p>\n
