A first rate swordplay pulp novel from Edgar Rice Burroughs By Lawrance Bernabo Edgar Rice Burroughs is best known for his Tarzan novels and better known for his Mars, Pellucidar and other science-fiction series, but "The Outlaw of Torn" is one of his best pulp fiction yarns. It was actually the second story Burroughs wrote. Apparently the editor at "All-Story," which had published "Tarzan of the Apes," suggested ERB write it and then rejected the story when it was submitted. It was then published in five parts in "New Story Magazine" (January-May 1914), and the first book edition was published in 1927.Burroughs begins with his standard storytelling device: the author comes across the story of Richard, the lost prince of England and tells it to his readers. Henry III of England insults Sir Jules de Vac, who takes his vengeance by kidnapping young Prince Richard. As Norman, the Outlaw of Torn, the young man becomes the greatest swordsman in England and a fearless outlaw with a price upon his head who raises an army loyal only to him. Of course, although he is ignorant of his noble birth, he is drawn to the lovely Bertrade de Montfort, daughter of the King's brother-in-law, the Earl of Leicester. This romance fits in nicely with the plans of de Vac, who contrives situations in which the king will be responsible for killing his own son. Yes, the ending is predictable, but ERB has a great sense of pacing and you have to remember that he was writing this decades before all of the Errol Flynn movies that would define the swordplay genre.The obvious comparison for "The Outlaw of Torn" is with Robin Hood, but Burroughs' pulp novel has its own tale to tell. This really is one of his best novels and as an example of the pulp fiction of the early 20th century it is a first-class work. Keep in mind that he tended to do a lot of sequels, and they started to get rather redundant and repetitive (especially in the last half of the Tarzan novels). But "The Outlaw of Torn" stands out because as a historical novel it is unlike pretty much everything else Burroughs wrote. I read every ERB novel I could get my hands on as a kid, and "The Outlaw of Torn," in my 75 cent Ace Paperback edition with the Roy Krenkle cover, has been the one I have re-read the most.

Foster Of course ERB is the expert on princesses in need of rescue, but knights and castles?When I first approached this book, I was already an ERB fan. I had just finished the 1-12 Mars series, and was about to start the Venus series, and decided to read Outlaw of Torn because it was a stand alone one book adventure.I was pleasently rewarded that he handled the times depicted in OoT well. I always attributed far out adventures of his to more of a science-fiction genre, but this book convinced me that this writer could handle it well enough even if it wasn't based on fantastic off planet adventures- (I didn't read the Tarzan books till later).Anyway, not to give away too much, this story is gritty and includes the suicide of an unrequited lover, the evil of a child being kidnapped and trained to be the finest swordsman in the land so the villian could exact revenge and even a not so typical ERB ending- but I won't give it away.These items are kinda dark for a ERB novel- usually my favorite ERB novels end with the protanganist- having going through adventure and battles many and deadly, getting the girl/princess in the end and winning the day.So if you want something different from ERB, I recommend this novel!
