Die Jagd nach den Spionen
Summary
Tarzan empfindet das mehr oder weniger zivilisierte und geruhsame Leben in Paris in steigendem Maße als Last. Seine Unruhe wächst von Tag zu Tag, ebenso seine Sehnsucht nach dem früheren ungebundenen Leben im Urwald. Da beschließt sein Freund Paul d'Arnot, zu handeln. Nach mehreren Gesprächen mit Freunden aus dem Kriegsministerium findet man gemeinsam eine Lösung: Tarzan soll als Sonderbeauftragter des französischen Kriegsministeriums nach Afrika reisen. Genauer gesagt: Es ist die Abteilung Spionageabwehr, die ihn nach Nordafrika beordert, um einen gewissen Leutnant Gernois zu überwachen. Gernois steht im Verdacht landesverräterischer Beziehungen zu einem Mann namens Rokoff. Man lässt Tarzan nicht im Zweifel darüber, dass er der zweite Mann mit demselben Auftrag ist. Den ersten Mann musste man mit vier Messerstichen im Rücken aus dem Hafenbecken von Oran fischen, was Tarzan aber nicht beeindrucken kann. Er trifft am 19. Mai an Bord der Marie Antoinette in Oran ein. Mit diesem Schiff gelangt jedoch auch - in einem versiegelten Brief - die Nachricht von seiner Existenz und seinem wirklichen Auftrag nach Afrika. Dieselben Leute, die den Tod des Mannes im Hafenbecken auf dem Gewissen haben, beginnen erneut, ihre tödlichen Fallen zu stellen. Und sollte es Tarzan gelingen, in Oran mit dem Leben davonzukommen, in Sidi-bel-Abbes würde er ihren Schlingen wohl nicht entgehen. Und fast scheint es, als solle Tarzan bereits die erste Falle nicht überleben...

At the Earth's Core
Summary
When David Innes and his inventor friend pierced the crust of the Earth in their new burrowing device, they broke out into a strange new inner world of eternal daylight - a world in back of the Stone Age, where prehistoric monsters still lived, and cave men and women battled against cruel, inhuman masters. The story of what these two men did in that new world of Pellucidar makes At the Earth's Core one of Burrough's most outstanding best sellers.

Tarzan und der Piratenschatz
Summary
Zufall oder Schicksal? 21 Jahre liegen zwischen dem Beginn zweier Dramen, die sich an der gleichen Stelle der afrikanischen Westküste abspielen. Waren im Jahr 1888 John Clayton, Lord of Greystoke, und seine Gattin Alice die Betroffenen, sind es diesmal fünf Menschen, die einer Katastrophe entgegensteuern. Unter ihnen auch William Cecil Clayton, der Neffe John Claytons. Sie wissen nicht, dass ein Mann namens Snipes bereits ihren Tod beschlossen hat, um in den Besitz des Piratenschatzes zu kommen, eines Schatzes, den der liebenswürdige, aber etwas weltfremde Wissenschaftler Professor Porter nach alten Plänen gesucht und gefunden hat, nicht ahnend, dass er ihm eines Tages zum Verhängnis werden sollte. Doch noch steht dem hinterhältigen Unternehmen ein Hindernis entgegen: Tarzan, er Affenmensch. Weder Professor Porter noch seine Tochter Jane, nicht William Cecil Clayton und nicht der verbrecherische Snipes wissen von dessen Existenz. Aber auch Tarzan selbst hat bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch keinen weißen Mann zu Gesicht bekommen. Als sich sein Speer zum ersten Mal in die Schulter eines der Eindringlinge bohrt, sind alle gleichermaßen entsetzt. Bis auf den Professor, der inzwischen, wie er meint, eine geheimnisvolle Entdeckung gemacht hat. Aber auch den anderen steht noch eine Reihe von Überraschungen bevor. Und nur wenige davon sind ungefährlich.

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar
Summary
A spy, Albert Werper, has been sent by Tarzan's long time foe, Achmet Zek, to abduct Jane. His plan changes when he discovers that Tarzan is bankrupt and must return to the lost city of Opar to bring back more gold. While Tarzan and the spy are in the treasure tomb, an earthquake strikes Tarzan down and blocks the exit. The only way out leads Werper to the sacrificial chamber of the Flaming God, where he soon finds himself the next victim. Tarzan is quick to recover his strength, but not his memory! Tarzan is the original super hero, one most of us would like to be. It is easy to surrender ourselves to the thrill of his exploits in the damp African Jungle, yield to the pull of primitive impulse, and imagine we are back again in pre-historic times, swinging from tree to tree in glorious abandon through the primeval forest or fighting the great cave bear with rude stone weapons.
