Product Description:
At last--after decades--one of the most famous heroes in literature is back! Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, returns with a vengeance in this brand-new, action-packed adventure by Philip José Farmer, Hugo Award-winning author of the incredible Riverworld saga.
Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane, has been kidnapped, and the furious ape-man will let nothing stand in the way of rescuing her--not even a sinister safari whose target is Tarzan himself. With fierce Masai trackers leading the chase, a trio of white hunters are hellbent on capturing the Jungle Lord. But as the pursuers, and their uncanny half-human tracker, close in from behind, Tarzan races toward even greater danger ahead.
For the trail leads to a bizarre, long-forgotten land boasting a multitude of strange and terrifying mysteries: the City Built by God, the Hideous Hunter, the One to Avoid, and most shocking of all, the Crystal Tree of Time--whose seductive powers could ultimately spell Tarzan's doom . . .
Philip José Farmer, a descendant of the actual Greystoke family, is famous for his adventure novels starring Tarzan characters. Now, for the first time, he lends his vast imagination to the authorized legend of the Lord of the Apes himself!

Okay being a big fan of Mr Burroughs as a teenager , and buying a few of the novels now, I tried giving Mr Jose Farmer a go, and enjoyed this book no end. It as a slightly modern feel to it compared to Mr Burroughs Novels, and it made me go out and collect a few of the Graphic Novels, and a couple more books written about the Jungle Lord. I only hope with the release of a new Tarzan Movie in 2009 that it will spark interest in the Jungle Lord again, and with the permission of the Burroughs estate ... Read More

Avoid this confused, poorly paced, ineptly plotted mess. The characters are wooden and one-dimensional (even their names are largely silly and unbelievable), and the "action" is as dull as can be. Farmer misses the boat by such a wide margin that you'd think that he never read one of Burroughs' books himself. A read through this dreck certainly reinforces the respect and admiration for Burroughs and the characters and worlds that he created.

Farmer's sanctioned Tarzan novel "Dark Heart of Time" appeared decades after its ideal publishing time, during the Krenkel-inspired revival of Burroughs novels. This adventure story fits into what is probably the best of the Tarzan saga, when Tarzan returns to the jungles of Africa and pursues WWI-era German villains. This story is one of Farmer's better novels, packed with action and unique characters (including some cardboard stereotypes). It's a shame that this and "Nothing Burns in Hell" do not appear ...

Consider this statement as you would consider the "Ceci n'est pas un pipe" on the famous Magritte painting. Farmer might have written the text, but this is not a Farmer's novel, this is a Tarzan novel that got gold of Farmer's mind and pencil.
The fact that, despite not being able to use the name, Farmer has already written many novels and stories with Tarzan as the main character, in one shape or another, and he could not repeat what he had done previously on these novels, be they literary pastiches ... Read More

As a long-standing fan of Philip José Farmer, I was extremely disappointed with The Dark Heart of Time. Without question, it is the worst-written, most poorly-concieved book Mr. Farmer has ever produced. The plot is silly and contrived, the action mundane, and the writing sloppy. Throughout the book, Tarzan is determined to save the love of his life, Jane. This is his all-consuming passion, but this book is not about Tarzan trying to save Jane. She doesn't appear anywhere in these pages! Instead Tarzan ... Read More
