[edit] Plot summary
In the previous novel, Tarzan rescued Jane after he discovered that she was alive. And also at the end of the novel, Tarzan was reunited with his son Korak. In this novel Tarzan had been drugged and delivered to the priest of Opar, the lost colony of Atlantis that Clayton had visited in Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar. Once again the High Priestess of the Flaming God, La, who is consumed by her hopeless lust for Tarzan, rescued him. But when her people discovered she had betrayed them, Tarzan fled with La into the legendary Valley of Diamonds, where savage gorillas rule the jungle. The good news was that Tarzan and La were being followed by Jad-bal-ja, his faithful golden Lion. The bad news was that they were also being followed by Estaban Miranda, who happened to look exactly like Clayton, but who was evil.
