Korak the killer
Korak meaning the killer is son of Tarzan. He lives in London but has inherited a deep interest in the jungle ways and animals. An ape which is in the hunt for his long lost friend, Tarzan, is brought to London and Korak befriends him. Tarzan comes in contact with the ape and they both recognize each other. Tarzan wants to send Akut the ape back to the jungles of Africa. Korak accompanies Akut to the jungles of Africa where they share adventures.
Unfortunately, Korak seems to have the killer instinct and has little compunction in killing the black warriors. Korak is actually a second Tarzan who meets his love deep in the African jungle. They are separated by fate but again reunite after Meriem, Korak's love realizes she actually loves Korak and not another. Korak has Tarzan's ears and sense of smell.
It's another Tarzan story only it's the son. Having two Tarzans in one story is nice but the other is in the background most of the time and reappears only in the end to make a happy ending to the dangers of jungle life. Jane, Lady Greystroke is also in the story but as a refined lady.
Compelling but racist
This is thrilling and interesting. Be warned: all the Tarzan series are very racist! You wouldn't know by the movies, but the books really highlight what people thought about other cultures during this time. I still gave it a good review because it's interesting to read these books and see what the values were during this time, plus it's a compelling, fast paced adventure book that is just good fun to read. This is one of my favorite of the Tarzan series books- probably because it has a well developed female character.
Like swinging through the trees with the Ape Man's son while holding onto the vine for dear life.
SON OF TARZAN is the most action-packed, breathless adventure story of the four books in the Tarzan series I've read thus far. John Clayton, Jr, aka Korak "The Killer," leaps, literally, out of his bedroom window at the Greystoke manse and into a new world of danger, narrow escapes, and love.
There are so many twists and turns and incredible coincidences in this book, that you'll be forced to turn the pages as quickly as you can to keep up. And if you think, like I did before reading SON OF TARZAN, that Little (Future) Lord Greystoke would be like the child actor who played the part of "Boy" in those old Johnny Weismuller movies, you'll be thoroughly surprised that he is just as savage as his father was. Adopted by the Great Apes, he is given the name of Korak, which in ape grunt, means "The Killer." And a killer he definitely is.
You'll also be charmed by the little girl Korak rescues from her mean and brutal Arab father The Sheik. Meriem is her name, and she is one tough girl.
