In this second addition to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ epic adventures of Tarzan, listeners will find the jungle man leaving America to visit old friends in Europe. Through spirals of action, disaster, and shipwreck, we find Tarzan and a group of travelers, including his first love Jane and his new archenemy Rokoff, back in the jungle where he was raised. Encountering even more hardship in the harsh jungle, Tarzan again fights wild animals and savage tribes in the ultimate search for secret buried treasure. This sequel to Tarzan of the Apes sheds even more light on the beloved jungle hero’s life, loves, and struggles fitting into human society.

"The second book in the Tarzan series. It was a great book, but not quite as good as his first one. I am still surprised to see Tarzan as an Aristocrat and traveling around the world. He could be an International spy. Lord Greystoke he is."
— Tommy (4 out of 5 stars)
The Return of Tarzan Listener Reviews
-
" So there are 24 Tarzan books! I was not satisfied with just the first one, but the end of the second book resolved enough for me, so I'm done! This was another great adventure, although the plausibility required a big stretch of the imagination. "
— Lisa, 2/18/2014 -
" the first was better, this was ok "
— Xdw, 2/16/2014 -
" As good as the first. "
— Andrew, 2/1/2014 -
" More of the same from the first book. "
— Caroline, 1/29/2014 -
" The second book of the Tarzan series is romantic and adventuresome from the civilized world to jungle and with the 'happy' ending. I enjoyed it. "
— Flosi, 1/16/2014 -
" Tarzan is far more likable and the pacing faster in this superior follow up to Tarzan of the Apes. "
— Larry, 11/28/2013 -
" I enjoy reading of Tarzan's unlikely adventures and invincibleness. It's a great escape! "
— Ruth, 11/16/2013 -
" Not as clever as the first book, but then follow ups rarely are. It moves at such a quick pace you don't really mind the coincidences in plot. The last quarter was a hell of a page turner. "
— Russell, 11/13/2013 -
" The best of the Tarzan sequels, keeping in form with the first book's humor and utilizing thrilling pulp drama of the time period. "
— Megan, 9/29/2013 -
" A more satisfactory ending than the first Tarzan book. "
— Krissy, 9/12/2013 -
" Not as good as the first in the series. "
— Charles, 5/5/2013 -
" The first book was better but the second is necessary to finish the story. "
— Dorina, 10/26/2012 -
" I love these stories, but the incidental racism, product of its time or not, ruins for me, parts of what should be timeless tales. "
— Liam, 10/9/2012 -
" Not as good at the first, but another high adventure. Between a good high adventure and just 'guilty pleasure' reading. "
— Nathan, 8/30/2012 -
" I really enjoyed Tarzan and really I only read this book to find out if Tarzan finally got to end up with Jane. "
— Kirk, 7/11/2012 -
" Not as good as the first book but they get better. "
— April, 12/29/2011 -
" This book contains three solid adventures that could very easily have been stand alone books. Instead, it almost makes the book seem ridiculous, but it's still a great deal of fun. "
— John, 12/10/2011 -
" Not quite as entertaining as the first Tarzan book. The swashbuckling, barbaric, yet debonair Tarzan just gets hit with too much coincidence and deus ex machina type situations for my taste. "
— Dani, 10/2/2011 -
" Another romp through the jungle with Tarzan. This book felt more like a connection of short stories than a complete novel. Still, it was fun and I enjoyed reading about the lost city of Opar. "
— Arwen, 6/4/2011 -
" Basically the same as the first one; still, I couldn't put it down! "
— Aaron, 4/25/2011 -
" Just as fun as the first. Looks like I'm going to continue reading this series. "
— Superilla, 3/15/2011 -
" And the ape man finally gets his woman. :-D What else is there to be said?? "
— Kristy, 3/14/2011 -
" so far as good as the first, but very different, a bit long in battle/life and death scenes and short on character/story development ones, but still great, ending with warm fuzzies "
— Ben, 2/27/2011 -
" Enjoyed. More of the same in the first book. "
— Christy, 2/20/2011 -
" I enjoy reading of Tarzan's unlikely adventures and invincibleness. It's a great escape! "
— Ruth, 10/14/2010 -
" A little like a soap opera. I liked the first book better. I'm glad I read it, but it was beyond belief, of course. "
— Julie, 9/21/2010 -
" A tremendous adventure story. Thoroughly enjoyable and exciting! "
— Alasdair, 8/21/2010
