Synopsis

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, returns with a vengeance in this action-packed adventure by Philip José Farmer, Hugo Award winner, Nebula Grand Master, and author of the acclaimed Riverworld saga.
 
Tarzan’s beloved mate, Jane, has been kidnapped, and the furious ape-man will let nothing stand in the way of rescuing her—not even a sinister safari whose target is Tarzan himself. With fierce Masai trackers leading the chase, a trio of white hunters are hellbent on capturing the Jungle Lord. But as the pursuers, and their uncanny half-human tracker, close in from behind, Tarzan races toward even greater danger ahead.
For the trail leads to a bizarre, long-forgotten land boasting a multitude of strange and terrifying mysteries: the City Built by God, the Hideous Hunter, the One to Avoid, and most shocking of all, the Crystal Tree of Time—whose seductive powers could ultimately spell Tarzan’s doom…

This takes place between the Burroughs novels Tarzan the Untamed and Tarzan the Terrible. He’s searchi......more

Goodreads review by Jerry on May 18, 2018

I was excited to read this, the one and only approved non-ERB Tarzan novel, and it only cemented my impression of Farmer as not a great author. It barely captured the spirit of Tarzan initially, then just lost it in a silly plot. So disappointing. I was wondering about Farmer’s Riverworld series, bu......more

Goodreads review by Last Ranger on April 11, 2020

The Quantum Tree?: “Tarzan and the Dark Heart of Time” is the first Tarzan novel I’ve read written by anyone other than Edgar Rice Burroughs and it seemed to have a good potential. What appealed to me about this particular novel was the author who did write it: Philip Jose Farmer. I was already fami......more

Goodreads review by Clark on February 22, 2023

I am a big ERB fan and have read the Tarzan series many times over, but have never read Farmer's interpretation of the Ape Man until now... and I see why. The story started out as a typical Tarzan adventure (hence the 2 stars) but digressed into something else when he encounters the City Built by Go......more
