My Favorite Tarzan Novel

This book was originally published in 1923 and is the 9th novel in the Tarzan series. As a pre-teen and teenager, it was my favorite Tarzan book simply because of Jad-Bal-Ja, the golden lion of the title. Heck, I had a pet dog I ran around with; Tarzan got to run around with a lion.In the book, Tarzan finds himself in Opar, a remnant of the lost city of Atlantis (he's bee here before in "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar"). He's not exactly a popular guy in Opar and is rescued from certain death (is there any other kind in these books) by La, the High Priestess of Opar who just happens to be in love with Tarzan. They are forced to flee together into the Valley of Diamonds, which just happens to be ruled by some very nasty gorillas. Fortunately for Tarzan, Jad-bal-ja is on his trail and arrives in the nick of time. While this is still a favorite of mine, it contains a plot twist that I always thought was one of ERB's worst. Estaban Miranda is a Spaniard, who happens to look just like Tarzan, and somehow keeps managing to fool a lot of other characters. It just never made much sense that even if he looked like Tarzan, he could so easily get away with imitating the Lord of the Jungle.
