About this book
In Paris, an English lord named Tarzan learns that his old enemy Nikolas Rokoff has escaped prison. Before the news can settle, word arrives from London: his infant son has been stolen from the family home. What follows is a lure and a trap: a mysterious phone call, a steamer called the Kincaid, and a hold that slams shut overhead. Then, from the deck above, a woman's scream. So The Beasts of Tarzan begins, and Edgar Rice Burroughs wastes no time closing the jaws.
