Book Description
Widely known as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes, Edgar Rice Burroughs was also one of America's most imaginative writers of science fiction. This tale of the amazing world of Pellucidar is a fine example of that genre. Discovered by two men who travel to the center of the earth in a bizarre mechanical device, Pellucidar is a land of perpetual noon--where time does not exist. It is also home to gallant heroes, lovely maidens, horrifying villains; and savage, prehistoric beasts. How the inhabitants of this strange land survive in a Stone Age level of development is revealed in a gripping adventure that will thrill countless readers partial to exotic locales and heart-pounding excitement. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1923.


Download Description
Our trip through the earth's crust was but a repetition of my two former journeys between the inner and the outer worlds. This time, however, I imagine that we must have maintained a more nearly perpendicular course, for we accomplished the journey in a few min- utes' less time than upon the occasion of my first journey through the five-hundred-mile crust. Just a trifle less than seventy-two hours after our departure into the sands of the Sahara, we broke through the surface of Pellucidar.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Boring 500 miles through the earth's crust in their "iron mole," David Innes and Professor Perry make the astonishing discovery that the earth's center is hollow and the site of an amazing interior world -- Pellucidar! It is at a Stone Age level of development, dominated by chilling reptilian monsters with a high degree of intelligence who communicate through extrasensory means. Evolution is proceeding along different lines in Pellucidar than it did on the Earth's surface, and human beings are treated as inferior creatures. Danger and violence are the rule in this land of perpetual noon (the sun is always at the zenith), where time does not exist. In this second novel of the Pellucidar trilogy (the others are At the Earth's Core and Tanar of Pellucidar), David Innes returns to Pellucidar to seek his lost love, the beautiful Princess Dian, and to fulfill his vow to lead humanity out of the darkness of slavery and subordination. During an epic journey across the strange lands of Pellucidar, Innes has many heart-pounding encounters with strange peoples and savage beasts, often barely escaping with his life. This book is a prime example of why Burroughs' writings have enjoyed enormous popularity for over fifty years, and are still favorites with young and old alike. Pellucidar is sure to appeal to any reader with a taste for gripping adventure in exotic locales.
