From the creator of Tarzan comes a headlong tale of mistaken identity and royal intrigue. Barney Custer, a young American who happens to wear the face of a vanished European king, finds that playing the monarch is far easier than convincing anyone he is not — and far more perilous, with a throne, a war, and a princess all in the balance. Written at breakneck speed and moving just as fast, this edition presents Burroughs's complete and unabridged romance, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
