Tarzan Triumphant


Lu par Mark Nelson

(4.6 stars; 41 reviews)

LOST PEOPLE IN A TRACKLESS JUNGLE
How strange the ways of fate—to bring together such an odd assortment of people to face the perils of the darkest continent!
"Gunner" Patrick, once a gunman, now fleeing from the perils of Chicago gangland, in the company of unsuspecting Lafayette Smith, a brilliant geologist, looking for rocks, but instead finding Lady Barbara Collis, aviatrix, lost in the wilds of a hidden valley with only Jezebel, a beautiful young Midianite, whose people think nothing of burning strangers alive.
Only fate could cause these various destinies to twine and intertwine, and only Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, can rescue them from the savagery of Africa and the treachery of men. - Summary by Original text (8 hr 5 min)

Critiques


(5 stars)

A very good reader, the story became alive for me . With silky tones and good character acting, it was a very enjoyable 'read'.

Tarzan Triumphant


(3 stars)

This is one of the weaker efforts in the Tarzan series. The plot is meandering and lacks cohesive narrative arc. The reading is excellent as we always expect from Mark Nelson. Unfortunately Mr. Nelson’s fine job does not rescue Tarzan and his chromatically challenged European and American visitors. (As a Chicagoan, I was disappointed at the unfortunate representation of our fellow citizens in the City of Big Shoulders.)

Great story


(4.5 stars)

clear, well read book. Another fantastic rescue of poor European and American folks wandering through Africa. Everything you'd expect from a Tarzan story.

Endless escapes and captures


(3.5 stars)

Well read and entertaining but story rather far fetched, even for Tarzan.
