Synopsis

Tarzan and the Lost Empire (Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library)

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.

Story holds no particular connection to the previous books except for the g......more

The 12th Tarzan novel is another themed Lost Civilization story, this time involving a forgotten remnant of the Roman Empire. Tarzan goes in search of an old friend's missing son and trails him to the lost society. As soon as I realized he was headed toward an encounter with a Roman culture, I was h......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on July 20, 2023

Awfully similar in many ways (including being one of my favorites) to Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. This time around, the distressed individual is a German, one Erich von Harben (son of the von Harben family who will be retroactively introduced in Tarzan And The Tarzan Twins With Jad-Bal-Ja The Golden......more

So once again Tarzan has found a lost city in Africa. Man, there sure a lot of lost cities there. This one is ancient Romans, and Tarzan discovers the cities while he's searching for the lost son of a friend. Overall not bad but honestly it just feels like we've been here before. Two lost cities at......more
