 Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs

The first novel featuring one of the greatest adventure heroes of all time!

Tarzan—orphaned by the jungle that saves him, adopted and raised by an ape mother but shunned by the tribe—a young boy grows into what he believes is a powerful ape. As he explores farther and farther from his home, this fearless young man discovers he can do more than he ever thought possible—until one day he is not fast enough and his ape mother is killed. Orphaned again, he swears revenge.    

Fiercely independent, incredibly wild, highly intelligent, Tarzan does the seemingly impossible and brings the jungle under his heel.

As King of the Apes, Tarzan has it all—until a shipwreck brings Jane Porter to the edge of his jungle, and he wonders if he has everything after all. 

Tarzan of the Apes, the first book in Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic series of wildness, adventure, freedom, and power.  

With an all new foreword by David Weber. 

Authorized by the Edgar Rice Burroughs Estate.

Wings of Tabat: The 4th and Final installment of The Tabat Quartet

In the final book of Cat Rambo’s magical Tabat Quartet, we return to the city of Tabat, where Humans and magical Beasts co-exist—but uneasily.  The exploited Beasts, used for both their labor and their very bodies, are finally fighting back, and turmoil abounds in the city.

Enter the world of Tabat and find out why writer Saladin Ahmed called this story “an unsung gem of modern epic fantasy.”
