Tarzan and the Castaways (Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library)
Book 24 of the Tarzan Series - Special Edition Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
Stranded on an uncharted Pacific island, Tarzan is forced to take command of an ill-sorted party—English aristocrats, a Dutch officer, a woman of doubtful reputation—to ensure their safety from a band of mutineers led by a madman. A lost colony of Mayans, avid for potential victims for their barbarous human sacrifices, only add to their danger. But the Lord of the Jungle has unexpected allies… Cast away with his band is a shipment of African animals unknown to the island, striking terror in the hearts of the Mayans and mutineers alike—but old friends and familiar antagonists to the man brought up among them…Tarzan of the Apes.

Tarzan and the Castaways - Our hero gets captured by bad guys along with many animals put on a ship but it wrecks on a mysterious island where a remnant of the Mayan civilization still exists. Mediocre adventure tale but saved by some really good action scenes on the boat and humor
Tarzan and the Champion - An American boxing champion decides to go on a hunting trip to Africa but must face the wrath of Tarzan who abhors needless killing of animals. This is the best story because of its premises, plenty of action and some humor but there are also some uncomfortable animal killing scenes
Tarzan and the Jungle Murders - Burroughs writes a mystery where a pilot is killed in the jungle. Pretty fun story but sidetracked by the usual jungle adventure tropes action and chase sequence
Ben Dooley did a phenomenal job narrating the series and the afterwords in these Oasis audio versions of the Tarzan tales are very welcome.
Overall the original Tarzan books are fantastic if formulaic adventure tales with some mediocre volumes. I will definitely be relistening to my favourite entries in the series.
Tarzan's final adventure!
