Erb Auth Lib Tarzan Hardcover Volume 24 Tarzan And The Castaways

Stranded on an uncharted Pacific island, Tarzan is forced to take command of an ill-sorted party-English aristocrats, a Dutch officer, a woman of doubtful reputation-to ensure their safety from a band of mutineers led by a madman. A lost colony of Mayans, avid for potential victims for their barbarous human sacrifices, only add to their danger. But the Lord of the Jungle has unexpected allies... Cast away with his band is a shipment of African animals unknown to the island, striking terror in the hearts of the Mayans and mutineers alike-but old friends and familiar antagonists to the man brought up among them: Tarzan of the Apes. This special Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library edition includes the first publication anywhere of "Murder in the Jungle," the original version of "Tarzan and the Jungle Murders," taken directly from Edgar Rice Burroughs' typescript before the story was heavily rewritten by a pulp magazine editor.
