An adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This book continues the exploits of the iconic character Tarzan, who is depicted as a noble figure torn between his animalistic origins in the African jungle and the civilized world he inhabits.

At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to a tense situation aboard an ocean liner, where Countess Olga de Coude finds herself captivated by Tarzan, an imposing stranger. As the plot develops, tensions arise when a card game leads to accusations of cheating against the Count, igniting a conflict with a nefarious individual named Nikolas Rokoff. Tarzan intervenes heroically, showcasing his strength and sense of justice while catching the attention of Olga, which promises deeper entanglements as the storyline progresses. This opening sets the stage for a blend of personal drama and thrilling adventure, highlighting Tarzan's complex character and foreshadowing the challenges he will face.
