Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar

Tarzan's Second Trip to Opar ‘Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar’ is the fifth Tarzan book and in my opinion better than the previous three. Tarzan gets into a bit of a financial scrape thanks to a bad investment and turns to his own personal piggy bank, the gold laden city of Opar, to replenish his coffers. It is a bit odd to me that our jungle man is raiding a city of gold but it’s not the only time he does it. So with his Waziri he heads out to pile up as much gold as his men can carry.

This is a tour de force of action, adventure, the lure of treasure, trials and tribulations with Tarzan in the wilds of Africa.

This wasn't my favorite of the Tarzan books, but it was still fun.

While Tarzan and the spy are in the treasure tomb, an earthquake strikes Tarzan down and blocks the exit. A spy, Albert Werper, has been sent by Tarzan's long time foe, Achmet Zek, to abduct Jane. 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.. The only way out leads Werper to the sacrificial chamber of the Flaming God, where he soon finds himself the next victim. His plan changes when he discover
