Kidnapped by an insane millionare bent on recreating the famous Lord of the Jungle, Ras Tyger is raised in a remote African valley by people he believes to be apes.

Heroic, and beautiful, he is master of his world. And he rules his kingdom with sex, savagery, and sublime innocence. 

But the laws of nature and those of man are about to collide....

Review of 'Lord Tyger' on 'Goodreads'

How do you build your own Tarzan?

This is the story of Ras Tyger, a hauntingly familiar figure... but something is not quite like the Lord Greystoke of Burroughs' books.

A dose of anthropology is added to the mythology of Tarzan in order to create Ras Tyger. A creation of a mad god!
