Set against the conflict between British and German forces in East Africa, the story dives deeply into the themes of revenge and the tension between civilized behavior and primal instincts, all with Tarzan as the wild heart of the jungle. The book begins with German Captain Fritz Schneider and his troops moving through the African wilderness towards the home of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, with no knowledge of the upcoming war. Simultaneously, Tarzan, hearing of the war, races home to safeguard his wife, Jane, only to find their home destroyed and Jane seemingly dead. Overwhelmed by this devastating loss, Tarzan is consumed by a thirst for revenge against the Germans. The storylines meet as Tarzan pursues his vendetta and becomes entangled in the war, showing off his strong determination and wild nature.
