gentlemanjeff's review against another edition

A shaky beginning gives way to a classic Tarzan tale with many of Lord Greystoke's Greatest Hits: terrorized natives, stoic resistance to being burned alive, losing consciousness and waking up in a lost city, cavalry rescue by animal pals. The City of Maniacs is a highlight, sufficiently different from Opar to feel like a new experience. The jingoistic revenge sequence in the Nazi plotline is objectionable, but as a plot device, it works well to propel Tarzan into his next outrageous adventure.

One of the better Tarzan books. Tarzan believes Jane to be dead and goes on a rampage of revenge.

There's a good pulpy adventure story here (hence the three stars), but it's buried beneath extreme amounts of racism and sexism that are difficult to wade through. This is a problem for the entire Tarzan series, but seems to especially meet a head here. I think I'll be taking a long break before picking up the next volume.
