Publisher's Synopsis
Like father, like son. Alexis Paulvitch survived the vengeance of Tarzan . . . and now he wants revenge. He means to lure Greystoke's son, young Jack Clayton, away from London, and do away with him. But Jack Clayton is smarter than Paulvitch reckons. He foils the plot, escaping into the jungle with the help of Akut, the great ape. The pair flee to the same African jungle where Tarzan was raised a generation before. And there young Jack Clayton begins to establish a reputation of his own -- as Korak, the Killer. Korak finds his own place in the jungle amidst the great apes . . . and finds something much, much more. When he rescues beautiful young Meriem from a band of Arab raiders, and begins to fall in love with her . . . "Edgar Rice Burroughs . . . has probably changed more destinies than any other writer in American history." -- Ray Bradbury "I want to go along with Ray Bradbury's views on the importance of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was Burroughs who turned me on, and I think he is a much underrated writer. The man who can create Tarzan, the best-known character in the whole fiction, should not be taken too lightly!"-- Arthur C. Clarke
