"Required reading for Burroughs fans."—Analog "Excellently researched by a recognized authority."—Chicago Tribune "Lupoff's lucid, occasionally wry recappings make one want to scour second-hand bookshops for Burroughs's back catalog in a quest to find out more."—Times Literary Supplement "Lupoff's thoughtful insights and thorough examination of each facet of Burroughs' work enriches what was already enjoyable reading."—The Barbarian Chronicles "Lupoff, who's now a senior author of speculative fiction. . . . makes shrewd observations about the Tarzan character, Jack Layton, son and heir of Lord Greystoke."—George Fetherling, The New Brunswick Reader "This well-paced book is sort of a biography of Burrough's writing. While it does not go into detail on all 75 of Burroughs's books listed in its bibliography, it does examine a good many of the most important works. Well-written by a working novelist, Master of Adventure is a good read for anyone interested in escapism and a must-read for all Burroughs fans."—Statesman Journal
