From the creator of Tarzan comes a hard-driving adventure of the lowest streets of Chicago and the far side of the Pacific. Billy Byrne is a brawler and a thief, shanghaied aboard a ship bent on kidnapping an heiress — but a shipwreck, a lost island, and a headhunters' village will forge in him a conscience and a courage he never wanted. Fast, brutal, and surprisingly tender in its second half, this edition presents Burroughs's complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
