TARZAN AND THE LION MAN

EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

ACE BOOKS, INC. 1120 Avenue of the Americas New York 36, N.Y.

This Ace edition follows the text of the first hard-cover book edition, originally published in 1934.

Printed in U.S.A.

TWO TARZANS IN GORILLA COUNTRY

Tarzan moved stealthily in the trees high above a savage scene. The tempo of the dance had increased. Painted warriors were leaping and stamping around a small group that surrounded the prisoner. As Tarzan gazed at the prisoner he experienced a shock.
