I was excited to read this, the one and only approved non-ERB Tarzan novel, and it only cemented my impression of Farmer as not a great author. It barely captured the spirit of Tarzan initially, then just lost it in a silly plot. So disappointing. I was wondering about Farmer’s Riverworld series, but for now I’ll pass.
