Resumen del Editor

Book 12 of the Tarzan series - special edition authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.

Somewhere in the heart of Africa, a young archaeologist disappeared in the remote jungle mountains - Erich von Harben, son of an old missionary friend of Tarzan of the Apes. Now the ape-man seeks to rescue the lost scholar. The trail leads to a mysterious valley where Tarzan discovers two surviving outposts of ancient Rome, virtually unchanged by time. And there, Tarzan is thrust into the bloody gladiatorial arena, doomed to face every peril the cruel and corrupt emperor of Castra Sanguinarius can devise to ensure the ape-man’s death. Miles away in Castrum Mare, Erich von Harben also awaits execution upon the sands of another tyrant’s arena, destined to die before he can pledge his heart to the fair Favonia, daughter of one of the emperor’s favored patricians.

Fun

This is a fun book. It does amble all over the place with two set of characters in two cities.

The reading performance by Ben Dooley is excellent and makes the book worth listening to.

Narrator Awful, Great Story but Unlistenable

The story is fun, one of my favorite Tarzan books. But the reading is pretty much Unlistenable. Between overly dramatic voices, and sing song narrative, it is awful. And unfortunately Ben Dooley is the only one reading the latter books in the Tarzan series. I may try another by him, and see if he gets any better, but hopefully another narrator will redo these. Phil must be a relative.
