The only female student in Cambridge University's medical program, Jane
Porter is far more comfortable in a lab coat dissecting corpses than she
is in a corset and gown sipping afternoon tea. A budding
paleoanthropologist, Jane dreams of traveling the globe in search of
fossils that will prove the evolutionary theories of her scientific
hero, Charles Darwin.
When dashing American explorer Ral Conrath invites Jane and her father
to join an expedition deep into West Africa, she can hardly believe her
luck. Africa is every bit as exotic and fascinating as she has always
imagined, but Jane quickly learns that the lush jungle is full of
secrets--and so is Ral Conrath. When danger strikes, Jane finds her
hero, the key to humanity's past, and an all-consuming love in one
extraordinary man: Tarzan of the Apes.
Jane is the first version of the Tarzan story written by a woman and
authorized by the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate. Its publication marks the
centennial of the original Tarzan of the Apes.
"This stunning sequel to Tarzan is outstanding in its scope and
pageantry.... Suzan Crowley is magnificent with her portrayals of the
narrator and the protagonist. Her voice develops the Tarzan personality
as she teaches him to speak English, and we hear him progress from
tentative childish pronunciations to mastering entire sentences and
concepts.... For anyone who grew up with the original Tarzan and for all
the new legions of fantasy and sci-fi lovers." --AudioFile
