"The entire affair is shrouded in mystery," said D'Arnot. "I have it on the best of authoritythat neither the police nor the special agents of the general staff have the faintest conception ofhow it was accomplished. All they know, all that anyone knows, is that Nikolas Rokoff hasescaped."John Clayton, Lord Greystoke—he who had been "Tarzan of the Apes"—sat in silence in theapartments of his friend, Lieutenant Paul D'Arnot, in Paris, gazing meditatively at the toe of hisimmaculate boot.His mind revolved many memories, recalled by the escape of his arch-enemy from theFrench military prison to which he had been sentenced for life upon the testimony of the apeman.He thought of the lengths to which Rokoff had once gone to compass his death, and herealized that what the man had already done would doubtless be as nothing by comparison withwhat he would wish and plot to do now that he was again free.Tarzan had recently brought his wife and infant son to London to escape the discomforts anddangers of the rainy season upon their vast estate in Uziri—the land of the savage Waziriwarriors whose broad African domains the ape-man had once ruled.He had run across the Channel for a brief visit with his old friend, but the news of theRussian's escape had already cast a shadow upon his outing, so that though he had but justarrived he was already contemplating an immediate return to London."It is not that I fear for myself, Paul," he said at last. "Many times in the past have I thwartedRokoff's designs upon my life; but now there are others to consider. Unless I misjudge the man,he would more quickly strike at me through my wife or son than directly at me, for he doubtlessrealizes that in no other way could he inflict greater anguish upon me. I must go back to them atonce, and remain with them until Rokoff is recaptured—or dead."

Tarzan finds himself the target of greedy, evil men. Stranded on a desert island, his wife and son kidnapped, Tarzan’s plight seemed helpless. But with the help of Sheeta, the ferocious panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan crafted his escape with the giant Mugambi. Yet the trail of the kidnappers led deep into the interior–and it would take all of Tarzan’s skills to reach his family in time.Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world’s most popular authors. With no previous experience as an author, he wrote and sold his first novel–_A Princess of Mars_–in 1912. In the ensuing thirty-eight years until his death in 1950, Burroughs wrote ninety-one books and a host of short stories and articles. Although best known as the creator of the classic Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, his restless imagination knew few bounds. Burroughs’s prolific pen ranged from the American West to primitive Africa and on to romantic adventure on the moon, the planets, and even beyond the farthest star.

As the rich Lord Greystoke, Tarzan becomes the target of grifters and criminals. They Kidnap his son and his wife, and strand Tarzan on a desert island. With the aid of Sheeta, a vicious panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan escapes his desert island. Tarzan and his new companions reach the mainland and begin hunting down the kidnappers. Tarzan intends to have such vengeance as only a human beast of the jungle could imagine. A vengeance that would chill the blood of a more civilized man.

But two of his enemies, Nikolas Rokoff and henchman Alexis Paulvitch, are on his trail. The pair abducts Jane -- and Tarzan's son, Jack. Tarzan himself is stranded on a desert island, but with the help of Sheeta the panther and Akut the great ape he makes it back to the mainland. There he meets Mugambi, the giant chief of the Wagambi tribe, who becomes Tarzan's lifelong friend and ally. The group heads into the deep jungle after the kidnappers -- and when Tarzan finds them he lets the beast inside him wreck his vengeance. There's a beautiful irony, here -- Tarzan has come from the jungle into civilization, and his son must go from civilization to the jungle.

Tarzan has spent much time building an estate home on the Waziri lands in Uziri, Africa, but has returned to his ancestral estate in London for the rainy season.Tarzan's adversaries from the previous novel, Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch, escape prison and kidnap the Greystoke heir. Their trap is elaborate and insidious, leading both Tarzan and Jane to be kidnapped as well. Rokoff exiles Tarzan on a jungle island, informing him that Jack will be left with a cannibal tribe to be raised as one of their own, while Jane's fate is to be left to his imagination.Using his jungle skill and primal intelligence, Tarzan wins the help of Sheeta, the vicious panther, a tribe of great apes led by the intelligent Akut, and a native warrior, Mugambi. With their aid, Tarzan reaches the mainland and begins a lengthy pursuit to find Jane (who is actively engineering her own extrication) and Jack.By the end of the story Rokoff is dead, while Paulvitch, his cohort, is presumed dead but manages to escape into the jungle. The Tarzan family returns to London along with Mugambi, who is offered a place at Tarzan's Waziri estate.--

The fellow led her from the place, and together they walked quickly toward the wharf and along it until across the water they saw a small boat just pulling into the shadows of a near-by steamer. "There they be," whispered the man. "Ten pounds if you will find a boat and row me to that steamer," cried the woman. "Quick, then," he replied, "for we gotta go it if we're goin' to catch the Kincaid afore she sails. She's had steam up for three hours an' jest been a-waitin' fer that one passenger. I was a-talkin' to one of her crew 'arf an hour ago." As he spoke he led the way to the end of the wharf where he knew another boat lay moored, and, lowering the woman into it, he jumped in after and pushed off. The two were soon scudding over the water.
