|summary=The second in the Andy Briggs reboot of the Tarzan story is just as good as the first. Definite recommendation.

Spoiler warning as usual when I review sequels – if you haven’t read the excellent [[Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy by Andy Briggs|Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy]] then carry on at your own risk.
Rokoff, the world’s most notorious hunter is in Africa, to snatch a baby gorilla from its family. When he does so, it’s left to Tarzan to chase across several countries to rescue the youngster, Karnath. But there may be danger closer to hand – can all of the wild man’s friends be trusted?
Throw in a strong environmental message which never threatens to dominate at the expense of the action, and a stunning ending which left me absolutely desperate to read book 3, and this is one which young and old alike will love.
For more high-octane fiction set in Africa with an environmental slant, don't miss [[Danger Zone: The Devil's Breath by David Gilman]]. For another rebooting of a classic series try [[Leopard Adventure by Anthony McGowan]].
