Product Description
TARZAN AT THE EARTH'S CORE
A startling radio transmission summoned Tarzan to the savage land of Pellucidar, hidden deep inside the Earth. His challenge? Rescue a kidnapped emperor. But first he was forced to emerge victorious over titanic pterodactyls, fierce snake men, and other demonic creatures who hungered to destroy him.

TARZAN THE INVINCIBLE
When Tarzan tried to stop some greedy tyrants in Opar, an ancient outpost of Atlantis, he was captured by a merciless band of warrior priests who yearned to sacrifice him on the bloody altars of the Flaming God. It took Tarzan's most magnificent display of nerve, courage, and raw animal power to free himself and vanquish the enemy.

From the Publisher
The first time I ever went to Tarzana, California, I walked down Ventura Boulevard, noticing that all of the buildings were really ugly. Then I arrive at my destination: a small house, set back from the street, with a beautiful tree shading the entire front yard. Inside, the air was cool and everything was polished wood, especially the incredible, gigantic desk. That's where he worked. It was awesome.

Edgar Rice Burroughs had a huge California ranch, and the land eventually became a town, named for Burroughs's most famous character. Burroughs created one of the few heroes everyone knows, and at that desk, he took Tarzan to exotic lands, had him face bizarre creatures and endless, exotic challenges. Those adventures spirit the reader away to a timeless time of action and heroism. And sitting in that office, I was a permanent convert. For me, and for countless others, the legend will never cease. And that's as it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as Burroughs gets, December 24, 2000

By	R. Morton (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This one has all the elements for great Burroughs - the wild land of Pellucidar, Burrough's friend Jason Gridley, a well-trained group of Waziri warriors and, of course, Tarzan. Nice to see Tarzan out of Africa; he and Pellucidar were made for each other. Sort of a wish-list entry in the Pellucidar series, one of my favorite Burroughs book.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Tarzan at the Earth's Core" is Entertaining, December 3, 1998

By	Kcoruol "goprocks.com" (Florence, SC USA) - See all my reviews

Tarzan at Earth's Core was an easy to read and entertaining novel but lacked the character development and continuity which could have made this a superb novel. Certainly more detail could have been provided relating to the relationship between Jason Gridley and Jana, The Red Flower of Zoram. In any case it was a fun adventure and I'd highly recommend this novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Burrough's Tarzan, December 11, 1997

By A Customer

Burrough's is best know for Tarzan. But his hard science fiction is even better. Tarzan at the Earths Core combines both. An excellent read that can be finished in one sitting. And you'll want to - it's that entertaining.
