Synopsis

America's favorite jungle hero returns for a third time in The Beasts of Tarzan. The legendary Tarzan claims his birthright title as Lord Greystoke, and starts a small family with his now wife Jane. But just when things were going right, the evil Rokoff kidnaps his infant son Jack, luring Tarzan into a trap. After Rokoff exiles him on an island near the African coast, Tarzan uses his skills learned from the jungle to win the favor of various wild animals. Tarzan must enlist these creatures to help him track down Rokoff in order to save his family from certain demise.

About Edgar Rice Burroughs

American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) worked many odd jobs before professionally writing. Burroughs did not start writing until he was in his late 30s while working at a pencil-sharpener wholesaler. But after following his call to writing, Burroughs created one of America's most enduring adventure heroes: Tarzan. Along with his novels about Tarzan, Burroughs wrote the notable Barsoom series, which follows the Mars adventurer John Carter.

About Jeff Harding

Jeff Harding is an American actor based in Britain. He is regularly seen in film and television, but he also maintains interest in fringe theatre. He is particularly active in radio and voiceover, having narrated over six hundred audiobooks in the UK for more than thirty years. In addition to acting, he has competed in rowing for many years-a sport he considers particularly appropriate for the narrator of Ben Hur.

Goodreads review by Joseph on September 15, 2020

If the first two books were the origin story, this is like an epilogue to that origin. As things open, Tarzan and Jane and new baby Jack Clayton are making a home for themselves in London; then Jack is kidnapped (by Rokoff and Paulvitch, the evil Russian villains -- think turn-of-the-20th-century pa......more

Goodreads review by Quentin on March 24, 2015

Another action packed Tarzan novel. This one was a bit of a contradiction. On one hand this may have been my favorite of the Tarzan books so far, but on the other hand it was a little more far-fetched then even the previous novels. (If it gets more far-fetched than a human raised by apes, that is.) I......more

Married at last, Tarzan and Jane have settled down to life in England, with their infant son, Jack, when Nikolas Rokoff, villain of The Return of Tarzan, returns with a nefarious new plot to pay Tarzan back for constantly frustrating his villainous aims in the last book. The plot involves the kidnap......more
