Synopsis

Tarzan and the Golden Lion (Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library)
 
Book 9 of the Tarzan Series - Special Edition Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
 
Betrayed by a band of international conspirators, Tarzan is drugged and left to die in the jungle. But then a quirk of fate delivers him into the hands of the frightful priests of Opar, the last bastion of lost Atlantis. La, High Priestess of the Flaming God, spares his life once again, driven by her hopeless love for the ape-man, only to find her act rewarded by the betrayal of her own people. To save her, Tarzan flees with La into the legendary Valley of Diamonds, while Jad-bal-ja, his faithful golden lion, follows. Ahead lies a land where sentient gorillas rule over servile humans. And behind, Esteban Miranda—who looks exactly like Tarzan—plots further treachery

3.5 Stars One thing I've learned about the Tarzan series: the plots are all over the place. In this volume Tarzan gets a pet lion, but there's also another plotline about a race of intelligent gorillas worshiping a lion in a lost city. There sure are a lot of lost cities in Tarzan stories! There's li......more

Goodreads review by Travis on May 31, 2010

Tarzan adopts a wounded lion, or the lion adopts Tarzan, depending on your point of view. This turns out to be a good move, after he his captured, drugged and sent to the lost city of Opar to be a sacrifice. With only the lion, a pretty annoying comic relief monkey and the babelicious high priestess,......more
