Byrd, Robert: Ka-Zar Book One - King of Claw and Fang - 18 May 07

Ok, I have to agree with Dr. Drib--I think we need a little more pulp to read on our high-tech reading machines! All of the great posted classics are making me feel too smart--I'm in the mood for some material that has a little less class.

This is Ka-Zar (pronounced kay-zar) of the Congo in the heart of darkest Africa. He's basically a Tarzan imitation. Born David Rand, his parents were flying over the Congo when their plane crashed. His parents are killed and he gets adopted and raised by a lion named Zar and takes the name of "Ka-Zar".

Growing up in the jungles of the Congo, he learns the languages of the beasts and the ways of the jungle. Ka-Zar uses these skills to help find the man that was ultimately responsible for the death of his father.

I want to thank Dr. Drib for posting "Kwa and the Ape People" earlier, as it inspired me to find more of the PG jungle adventures. Kwa was a great read by the way (strange writing style, but fun), but this text is a little closer to the Edgar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan" quality of writing. Enjoy!

Great fun stuff. Thanks for posting this. (I'll work on the other stuff I've located on G.)

Thanks, again!
