Tarzan the Terrible

Silent as the shadows through which he moved the great beast slunk through the midnight jungle his yellow-green eyes round and staring his sinewy tail undulating behind him his head lowered and flattened and every muscle vibrant to the thrill of the hunt. (Excerpt)

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), after a brief service in the US cavalry, persued a business career which was punctuated with intermissions as a gold miner, storekeeper, cowboy in Idaho and a police officer in Salt Lake City. He finally found success as a writer in 1914. His first novel, Tarzan of the Apes, was an immediate success.

Even though he is famous for his Tarzan series, Burroughs also is well known for his science fiction series such as John Carter of Mars, the Land Time Forgot and other series. Burroughs also wrote a number of less well known individual novels on various topics. Quiet Vision brings you a selection of these novels.
