Adventures in Chicago, California, Honolulu, and an unfrequented Japanese Island, and among gangmen, policemen, sailors, millionaires, yachtsmen, nobility, savage head-hunters, and prize fighters, fall to the lot of Billy Byrne, the Mucker, as extraordinary a character as the world-famous Tarzan. Raised in the alleys of a gang-infested district of Chicago, among murderous thugs and porch-climbers, Billy Byrne grew up a mucker and a violent hater of law and order. A murder, of which he was accused, but innocent, hurled him into a series of startling adventures on land and sea that rival any that were ever narrated by Jack London or Joseph Conrad. They were the means, however, for giving birth in the mucker to a new and finer regard for the law and for having him meet the one woman who changed the current of his life. NOTE: The text used in this book is the First Edition text. This book contains the first Mucker novel. The second Mucker novel can be found in THE RETURN OF THE MUCKER.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan. He was a pioneer of the adventure genre, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. Burroughs's work often explored themes of heroism, the struggle between civilization and nature, and the complexities of human relationships. His most famous series, starting with ""Tarzan of the Apes"" (1912), introduced readers to a wild, heroic figure raised in the jungle. Burroughs also created the Barsoom series, featuring the adventures of John Carter on Mars, which became highly influential in the sci-fi genre. Throughout his prolific career, Burroughs wrote more than 70 novels and numerous short stories, captivating audiences with his imaginative storytelling and vivid characters. Despite facing criticism for his writing style, his work has endured, inspiring countless adaptations in film, television, and comics. Today, he is regarded as one of the foundational figures in early 20th-century popular literature.
