In a surreal twenty-first century full of androids, binaries, chip trippers, NewSchool Grrls and Morlocks, black acid rain and StellarNet obsession, we meet Cage, a private detective down on his luck. Kicked off the prestigious Old New York Police Force after having gone up against Expedite, the most powerful computer corporation in the world, he is struggling to make ends meet when fate seems to lend him a helping hand. Fragile Janice Gild comes to him with the story of the death of her brother James, a death so bizarre, Cage can only begin to guess at the method of the gruesome killing, and the motive behind it.
Soon Cage's path is littered with the burnt remains of a seemingly unconnected group of people. Only James' ex-girlfriend, the inhumanly lovely Jonny Cache, can shed any light on the victims who have been made to burn....

reviewed Burn on January 05, 2014 Burn
Long on action, short on, well, brains. Burroughs uses a (seemingly) random heinous crime by the Germans in east Africa to jump-start Tarzan into some WWI German-hunting action, then just as he's about to retreat back to the jungle to mope, he gets dragged into rescuing a British airman captured by belligerent warriors, and finally all are kidnapped to a hidden remote valley of inbred whites. Unbelievable twists at the end of the final chapter left me cold -- the initial crime was a huge well-planned ruse (yet everyone behaves as an idiot afterwards, go figure), and other thoughtless occurrences. Not ERB's best plotting. You'll have to take the racial/cultural and gender stereotypes as a sign of the times -- they aren't terrible, but they are noticeable.
