Edgar Rice Burroughs
Book 17 of the Tarzan Series - Special Edition Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
A great safari comes to Africa to make a movie, struggling across the veldt and through the jungle in great ten-ton trucks, equipped with all the advantages of civilization. But now it is halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There is no way to return. Ahead lies the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas live in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. And behind them comes Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks—though hardly in courage!

In this story, set in the 1930's a Hollywood film crew comes to the Bansuto country in Africa to shoot a jungle adventure movie. They get into trouble from wild animals and Bansuto people whose territory they trespassed and this attracts the attention of Tarzan and Jad Bal Ja the golden lion.
When Burroughs wrote this story in 1933, Tarzan was becoming popular in the movies but the writer was dissatisfied with the character's portrayal on the screen. Just wanted to provide this context as this story has a lot of satirical humor against Hollywood which I really enjoyed but also being an action packed Tarzan story. The hidden civilization that the film crew and Tarzan encounters are absolutely ridiculous but the writer makes it work in the context of an adventure story.
The ending is one of the most memorable in the series, good humor from the writer.
The audiobook is the Edgar Rice Burroughs authorised library edition and the narration by Ben Dooley was pretty good.
Tarzan and Hollywood in Africa!
