Tarzan of the Apes : Three Complete Novels 8 reviews
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Wings, 1998
genuinely exciting and enormous fun to read
There are certain books and authors that have an inordinate impact on our lives. Often as not, their particular significance to us as individuals extends far beyond that which they would have to anyone else and sometimes, if we return to them at a different point in our own lives, it can be hard to recapture why they should have seemed so momentous in the first place. One of the authors who ...

The Outlaw of Torn4 reviews
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Wildside Press, 2004
If only Hollywood knew about this one..
I read this book in the 70s and it left it's impression on me ever since. This is a great Medieval adventure story concerning Norman, the Outlaw of Torn. The book tells the tale of the best swordsman in the world, a Frenchman who is enslaved to an English King. The Frenchman despises the King so much that he thinks up the ultimate revenge. He will steal the King's infant son Norman, and train him ...

Outlaw Of Torn7 reviews
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Ace, 1981
A classic tale of good versus evil set in medieval England.
Fiction meets historical fiction in a pleasant departure from what I term "the ERB formula", The Outlaw of Torn takes place during one of the most difficult and violent times in English history. Resulting from hatred, jealousy and the continual struggle for power between King Henry III and Earl Simon De Montfort, the stage is set for a vengeful man to nurture and manipulate a child to become ...

Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan!
These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it.

Read Edgar Rice Burroughs!
Note: I made some Mormon angry because of my negative reviews of books out to prove the Book of Mormon, and that person has been slamming my reviews.
Your "helpful" vote is greatly appreciated. Thanks
A very short review is not necessarily a bad review. I hope you find something useful. So here it goes:
Treat yourself and get lost in an Edgar Rice Burroughs' book. This edition of "At ...

Edgar Rice Burroughs
Ace, 1985
The life of Britannicus Caligulae Servus
This is the fictional autobiography of Britannicus Caligulae Servus, a rare treasure pulled out of the Burroughs vault. Britannicus, the slave of the mad Roman emperor Caligula, goes through many exiting adventures as he grows more and more weary of his overlords. It is an example one of Burroughs' only bittersweet endings, but it is a remarkable tradegy by the Master of Adventure which no ERB ...

In this--Edgar Rice Burroughs' first tale of life on Mars (Barsoom to its inhabitants)--we see a brilliantly conceived world featuring titanic green monsters and gorgeous red princesses battling forever across a dying landscape. From the opening set in the American southwest to the deserted cities on Mars to great battles between balkanized nations, this is brilliant adventure fiction. John ...

Tarzan 2-in-1 (Tarzan the Untamed & Tarzan the Terrible) (Tarzan the Classics)5 reviews
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Del Rey, 1997
2 GREAT ADVENTURE STORIES
These are two of the best books ERB wrote in the series. Although "Tarzan of the Apes" is the undisputed best novel of the series, quite possibly a literary masterpiece, these two have even more adventure, action, and clever plot twists than the original. I think "Tarzan the Terrible" is an overall better read, but the final few chapters of "Tarzan the Untamed", in Xuja, city of the mad, is my ...

Fairy Tale for Every Child, Even Those of us Who Are Adults
Minidoka? What kind of a word is that, you say? Then you stop and think, "Oh, Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan and John Carter. It's a made up word!" WRONG. Minidoka is a small town (or was, I don't know if it is still there) in Idaho where Mr. Burroughs worked in one of his many failed careers as a gold miner (1901 to 1904) with his brother at the Yale Dredging Company. It didn't pan ...

How wonderful it is to have all these great books in a single device. MobileReference is doing a great service...I have bought several of their collections.

Edgar Rice Burroughs
Dover Pubns, 1929
The ultimate fantasy exploration and adventure series
Though considered "dated" now by many, this science fiction series by the creator of Tarzan was always one of my favorites. Of course you have to suspend belief in certain scientific and geographical principles to enjoy them, but you are more than rewarded by the nonstop action and high adventure. If you ever yearned to explore a strange new world of marvels and monsters, then this is the series ...
