Description

American Barney Custer arrives in Lutha looking enough like King Leopold to be forced into a dangerous double life. Leopold is imprisoned and unstable; he is not assassinated so Barney can simply take the throne. Court plots, escapes, and Princess Emma keep the stakes personal.

Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) invented Tarzan and John Carter and then refused to stop inventing. Jungle, Mars, Pellucidar, lost cities: he built a pulp engine that made adventure unapologetic and wildly popular. Tarzan leapt from novels into comics, film, and merchandising until the ape-man became a global icon; Barsoom gave science fantasy a desert romance and a swordsman's swagger.
