The Beasts of Tarzan

Description

The Beasts of Tarzan is a book by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1914. The third in the Tarzan series, the story unfolds a year following the events of the preceding book. Tarzan and Jane, now parents to a son named Jack, have constructed a home on the Waziri lands in Uziri, Africa. But when Tarzan temporarily leaves for his ancestral estate in London, his adversaries from the previous novel, Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch, escape prison and seize the Greystoke heir. Their scheme is intricate and treacherous, resulting in the abduction of both Tarzan and Jane. Rokoff strands Tarzan on a remote jungle island, revealing that Jack will be left with a cannibal tribe for upbringing, while Jane's fate is left to Tarzan's imagination. Using his jungle expertise, Tarzan gains the assistance of Sheeta, the fierce panther, a tribe of apes led by Akut, and a native warrior named Mugambi. With their support, Tarzan reaches the mainland and embarks on a quest to locate Jane and Jack.
