Tarzan: the Lost Adventure is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the twenty-fifth and last in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. Left unfinished at his death, it was later completed by Joe R. Lansdale and finally published in 1995.

[edit] Plot

In Burroughs' last Tarzan story, left unfinished at the time of his death, the ape man plays guardian to an expedition seeking the lost city of Ur. In Lansdale's completion, Ur is a society revering a giant and supposedly immortal praying mantis, which is used to slay condemned prisoners in the arena. Tarzan speculates that the creature is originally from the underground world of Pellucidar, to which Ur is connected by a system of caverns and passages. Trapped underground at the end of the story, he seeks escape by seeking out the route to Pellucidar himself.
