THE ETERNAL SAVAGE (THE ETERNAL LOVER)
This Ace edition follows the text of the first hard-cover book edition, originally published in 1925.
Printed in U.S.A.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, tears apart time to bring the fiercely primitive world of the Stone Age to vivid life as a startling natural catastrophe throws a caveman into contact with the modern African jungle and brings a Twentieth Century American girl into the dawn world of the Niocene Age.
Here is Nu, son of Nu, seeking to test his mettle against the terrible fangs of the ferocious saber-tooth tiger.
Here is Victoria Custer, guest of Tarzan, seeking vacation and adventure and finding more than she could ever have dreamed of.
Here is THE ETERNAL SAVAGE, filled with terrific adventure, of primitive man against monster beast, and of comely cavewoman against unending peril in a world where civilization was not even a cloud on the volcanic horizon.
PART ONE
NU OF THE NIOCENE
Nu, the son of Nu, his mighty muscles rolling beneath his smooth bronzed skin, moved silently through the jungle primeval. His handsome head with its shock of black hair, roughly cropped between sharpened stones, was high held, the delicate nostrils questioning each vagrant breeze for word of Oo, hunter of men.
