Scott Adkins and Dolph Lundgren star in this action thriller
directed by Eric Styles. When a mysterious river monster in China
attacks and kills several people, scientist Travis Preston (Adkins)
travels out to investigate. When he arrives in the small fishing
village he discovers, to his dismay, notorious hunter Harker
(Lundgren) is also searching for the creature but with very
different methods. If Travis can find the monster first he intends
to capture it and study its existence; if Harker finds it he
intends to kill it. Who will get there first?
A Legend Reborn The world's most infamous hunter, Nikolas Rokoff,
is sent into the jungle to steal a rare prize from Tarzan's camp.
But Tarzan and his friends Jane and Robbie will stop at nothing to
track him down-crossing the wild rainforest and hostile African
savannah on a daring rescue mission. At the same time, Jane tries
to learn more about Tarzan's past, and must decide whether
reuniting him with his lost family is the right thing to do. And
Robbie is torn by a plan that would keep the secrets of his own
past safe, but might get rid of Tarzan for good. Lured to the city,
Tarzan is forced to confront his greatest enemy. But time is
running out-and no one can be trusted. "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 PhD, DBE "Not only has Andy Briggs produced another
thrilling adventure story that young readers will adore, it is also

The treacherous Lord Greystoke arrives at the logger's camp in the
Congo, and will stop at nothing to find and assassinate his
long-lost cousin, Tarzan. Robbie and Jane set out through the
jungle to warn Tarzan, and find themselves trapped in the sprawling
ancient city of Opar, where the insane Queen La rules an army of
man-eating apes. With a volcano threatening to explode, Tarzan,
Robbie, and Jane must form an unlikely alliance to save themselves.
Not everyone will make it out alive. Andy Briggs is a British
author and screenwriter. He created the Hero.com series and the
Villain.net anti-series for Oxford University Publishing, which
have now been published around the world.
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

suspense, danger, brutality and beauty. An action-packed thriller
from the opening line, it leaves the reader wanting more."

dark, gritty spirit of the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories and is a
real whirlwind of an action/adventure yarn." -Bookbitz Andy Briggs
