A Legend Reborn Robbie Canler flees to the Congo to escape a dark
secret, and finds work with an illegal logging operation. Suddenly,
his camp is attacked by a savage force. When Jane Porter, the
daughter of the camp's boss, goes missing, the loggers assume
bloodthirsty rebel soldiers have kidnapped her. Spurred into
action, Robbie sets out alone to find her-completely unaware that
he is being watched. Caught in the midst of the many dangers that
lie in the depths of the jungle, Robbie wonders if the rumors of a
supernatural white ape are true. And if so, can this mysterious
untamed savage be trusted to help, or will it destroy them all? "I
fell in love with Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan when I was 11 years
old, and was jealous when he married that silly Jane. I would have
been even more jealous of the Jane in Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy.
She is not silly at all And what a stroke of brilliance to
transform Tarzan into an eco-warrior. The Lord of the Jungle is
with us still." -Jane Goodall Ph.D., DBE "A classic with a
21st-century twist, this riveting adventure overflows with
suspense, danger, brutality and beauty. An action-packed thriller
from the opening line, it leaves the reader wanting more."
-Booktrust "Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy captures brilliantly the
dark, gritty spirit of the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories and is a
real whirlwind of an action/adventure yarn." -Bookbitz Andy Briggs
