About this ebook
An alternate-universe Tarzan seeks revenge on an all-powerful cabal in this science fiction adventure—a sequel to A Feast Unknown.
He is Viscount Grandrith: member of the House of Lords, slayer of wild beasts, and righter of wrongs. Having tasted the elixir of life, he possesses near-immortal power—a power that comes with a dark affliction shared only by his half-brother, Doc Caliban.
On his way to rediscover his childhood roots in Gabon, Lord Grandrith survives a thousand-foot plunge into shark-infested seas—an experience that revitalizes his taste for adventure. And that is just as well. For the Lord of the Trees has fallen into the grip of the Nine, grim and ancient rulers who control the world from afar . . .
A partner novel to The Mad Goblin, Lord of the Trees continues the strange saga that began with Philip José Farmer's controversial novel A Feast Unknown.

Spoilers ahead!!!! first the good: the story is well written and it gives you a lot of lore about the characters Origins. there is a clear line between Good and Evil. the bad :the book is basically about one guy bragging on himself the entire time about how strong he is how Superior he is to regular human beings. And how so much better he is speaking a language which he learned from the natives of that country.
About the author
Philip José Farmer (1918–2009) was born in North Terre Haute, Indiana, and grew up in Peoria, Illinois. A voracious reader, Farmer decided in the fourth grade that he wanted to be a writer. For a number of years he worked as a technical writer to pay the bills, but science fiction allowed him to apply his knowledge and passion for history, anthropology, and the other sciences to works of mind-boggling originality and scope.
His first published novella, "The Lovers" (1952), earned him the Hugo Award for best new author. He won a second Hugo and was nominated for the Nebula Award for the 1967 novella "Riders of the Purple Wage," a prophetic literary satire about a futuristic, cradle-to-grave welfare state. His best-known works include the Riverworld books, the World of Tiers series, the Dayworld Trilogy, and literary pastiches of such fictional pulp characters as Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes. He was one of the first writers to take these characters and their origin stories and mold them into wholly new works. His short fiction is also highly regarded.
In 2001, Farmer won the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement and was named Grand Master by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America.
