Didn't enjoy this so much. The book is too long and doesn't quite capture the feel of the first few (and best) of the E.R. Burroughs Tarzan books. This was a good effort, but fell short.
A great continuation of the Tarzan books.During World War II, Tarzan, a flier, is given a mission to fly over Africa and find a British operative. He is taken down by a Pteranodon (shades of Carson Napier!) and crashes in Pal-Ul-Don, where he befriends an elephant and a cave man, and comes into conflict with spider people.Very exciting, with a lot of high adventure and derring-do. A worthy addition to the Tarzan mythos.
A little slow to start but very good and faithful to ERB
Perhaps most people don't know the name of author Edgar Rice Burroughs, but the name "Tarzan" is known all over the world. Burroughs created an immortal character best known today from the films. But Chicago-born Burroughs wrote 24 books following the adventures of the little boy grown to manhood in the African rain forest.These were books I thoroughly enjoyed reading from the age of 11 to 13, especially on those warm lazy summer afternoons in my Chicago suburb of Oak Park.

I've been a fan of the Tarzan books since I was a kid. When I saw this book I was really looking forward to it.......unfortunately I was horribly disappointed.

There were none of the cliffhanger chapter endings, none of the wide eyed amazement of discovery, and none grandeur of the true Lord of the Jungle. What we do get is repeated plot points and descriptions and no real "feel" for who Tarzan really is (other than the endlessly repeated
A great Tarzan novel by the new Doc Savage writer. A fun and fast paced novel. A fantastic addition to Burroughs Tarzan series.
About a month ago, I finished reading Tarzan the Terrible and have been looking forward to reading this one ever since. Will Murray, pulp chronicler extraordinaire and highly successful author in his own right, has produced an excellent Tarzan tale which takes us back to the “Land of Man” (or “Pal-ul-don” in the local language). Tarzan, of course first visited this land of prehistoric creatures during the first World War in the 8th book of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan series, Tarzan the Terribl...
This was a lot of fun, but this is why I read these books. I loved how the author started off with "Flying Officer Clayton" when he was in the air and as he came back to the jungle he transformed back into Tarzan.
When I heard this book was coming out, I immediately set to re-reading Tarzan the Terrible,, the Burroughs novel recounting Tarzan’s previous visit to Pal-ul-Don. Though I’m glad I did, as an ERB refresher, it wasn’t really necessary. Return to Pal-ul-Do is a stand-alone adventure, introducing readers to new wonders, new horrors and new races in this forgotten corner of Africa.This makes Return to Pal-ul-Don accessible to everyone – from folks who know Tarzan only through comics or movies, right...
