Publisher's Summary

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.

Edgar Rice Burroughs would be Proud of Jane

I'm a big fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs, especially the John Carter of Mars and Tarzan series. I came to the novels thru the DC and Marvel comics. One thing that always bothered me was the damsel in distress plot device. Another was not enough screen time for Dejah Thoris and Jane Porter. This novel takes the ERB Universe into the next stage of evolution, which is appropriate given Jane's chosen profession as a paleoanthropologist. I listened to this audio version while walking to work in the winter and it was a welcome relief to mentally be taken to the shores of Africa with Jane and Tarzan. I loved their relationship, and how it developed. The narrator was perfect for Jane, and handled all the other voices and accents well. In fact, I have begun looking for my next listen based on Suzan Crowley's other performances. It a fun adventure and a great lesson. Thanks Robin and Suzan.
