Now, as Tarzan seeks to rid the ancient jungle city of an invading band of Predators, this Mahar sees an opportunity for the sauroids to rule again -- an opportunity for her to take control of Pellucidar. It's just a matter of playing one side against the other . . . a very small matter for such a powerful telepath.
