The Dark Heart of Time: a Tarzan novel is a 1999 work by Philip José Farmer authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.[1] The book was first announced under the title Tarzan's Greatest Secret in 1997.[2]

Set in October 1918—during Tarzan's search for Jane—the novel takes place between Tarzan the Untamed and Tarzan the Terrible.[3]

The novel's antagonist is James D. Stonecraft, an American oil magnate who believes that Tarzan knows the secret of immortality.
