Win Scott Eckert.com: U.K publisher Titan Books has entered into an agreement with the Estate of Philip Jose Farmer to bring a large selection of Mr. Farmer's backlist titles back into print.
Third in Titan's lineup is Mr. Farmer's Lord Tyger, considered by many to be Mr. Farmer's finest standalone novel. First published in 1970, the novel tells the tale of Ras Tyger, who is kidnapped by an insane millionare bent on recreating the famous Lord of the Jungle. Tyger is raised in a remote African valley by people he believes to be apes; heroic, and beautiful, he is master of his world. And he rules his kingdom with sex, savagery, and sublime innocence. But the laws of nature and those of man are set to collide....

A dark thoughtful dazzling piece of work. I read it again last year for the first time in maybe a decade and was amazed that it not only held up but was even better than I remembered. A truly iconic novel.
I was lucky to be asked to write the intro to this wonderful book. Joe Lansdale
