Without knowing that his father was brought up by apes, Jack Clayton falls in love with the jungle and makes his way there along with Akut, learning the Great Ape language and living as his father had. He rescues a small girl... she joins him in his jungle life, and in time grows lovely. When they are separated Lord Greystoke rescues her; he and Jane take her into their home. She and Korak dare great dangers to find each other. When they are threatened by a wild elephant Tarzan rescues them, learning at last that her mysterious Korak is his own long-sought son.

Brothers of the Spear
Dan-El; Tavane; Natongo; Molithi; Elena; Isilo
Queen Elena flees to Aba-Zulu, bearing news of a coup in her country, to be followed by an intended attack on Aba-Zulu. The forewarned Dan-El and Natongo break the enemy army in fierce fighting and turn the traitor over to his half-brother, the wounded King Molithi. Molithi exiles Isilo, rather than ordering his death. Dan-El muses that Molithi's abstention from revenge is a greater act than the battle that saved two kingdoms.
