When an American bomber crashes in the jungles of enemy-held Sumatra, the survivors face the perils of a completely unknown world...and the RAF colonel who flew with them as observer only seems to compound their danger by going mad-stripping to a loincloth and throwing away his weapons except for his knife. But for Colonel John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, the hazards of wild beasts and a remorseless enemy are a familiar and joyously accepted challenge-a chance to return to his true identity of Tarzan of the Apes. Gathering a motley crew of allies of many nations, Tarzan works a terrible vengeance on the occupying Japanese and leads an epic trek to the coast-to a final ocean rendezvous with enemies human and inhuman.
