Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar

The Ape Man is back in his element. Bereft of the fortune that briefly bought him a place in English society, Tarzan plots a return to Opar, the legendary lost city where mountains of ancient jewels await in the crumbling vaults of a degenerate civilization. But Opar remembers Tarzan as its bloodthirsty high priest, and the treasure-hunters who accompanied him in previous expeditions have stirred something terrible awake in the city's depths. Burroughs gives us the pure, undiluted pulp adventure that made him famous: the Ape Man battling through subterranean labyrinths, tearing through armies of warriors, and confronting horrors that blend ancient magic with primal savagery. Meanwhile, in the jungle's edge, Jane faces a different kind of threat: a suave English villain whose pursuit grows increasingly desperate and deadly. This is Tarzan at his most elemental, stripped of civilization's thin veneer and reverted to the killer instincts that made him lord of the jungle.
