High adventure and mistaken identities from the author of Tarzan of the Apes.

The throne of a Middle European kingdom is at stake in the days before World War I. The true king has been imprisoned for years by the evil Prince Regent, Peter of Blentz, under the pretext that the king is mad. When the mad king escapes, his doppelganger, Barney Custer of Beatrice USA, is in for intrigue and adventure!

I love this story! It is one of my Favorite by ERB. David Stifel is now my favorite story teller on Audible. He did an amazing job! A Rip Roaring Adventure, Mistaken Identity, Red Blooded Heroes, Horses, Sword Play, A Princess in Peril, Love, Humor, Good Guys, Bad Guys, ERB excelled in this type of story and "The Mad King" is top notch!
My only frustration with Audible is the pictures or illustrations they have for each selection. They put so much into producing a great product and the pictures associated with the story totally lack any connection or look like they are done by a cut and paste Jr High artist.

Mistaken Identity for a Mad King = Adventure!

This was a typical Burroughs tale where paths always cross by chance, all the men are no mean warriors and all the women are the perfect 10.

But it is still fun and entertaining to read/listen. David Stifel did a very good job with the voices on this book.

Come on. You know you loved Burroughs before. His work is still great escapism now.

Stifle does a great job in reading this stand alone novel by ERB. I like the novel. I just haven’t thought to read it very often.
