"Tarzan and the Golden Lion" is the ninth book of the enormously popular twenty-four volume Tarzan series of novels by adventure fiction writer Edgar Rice Burroughs.
In this installment in the Tarzan saga, our hero the ape-man, having befriended a lion cub and raised him as his own, is forced to return to Opar - the lost kingdom replete with gold and jewels - to help himself to more treasure to help shore up his estate's finances. But when he arrives in Opar, he discovers that an old housemaid of his has copied Tarzan's map to Opar and has also gone to the lost kingdom with a party of treasure-hunters to help themselves to the Oparian fortune.
Tarzan is among the most popular fictional characters in all of literature and his tales have been adapted into dozens of animated and live-action films as well as television and radio series and comic books.
"Tarzan the Terrible" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
