Pellucidar

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Overview

Can Humans Prevail Underneath Earth’s Crust?

“It is always a foolish thing to contemplate suicide; for no matter how dark the future may appear today, tomorrow may hold for us that which will alter our whole life in an instant, revealing to us nothing but sunshine and happiness. So, for my part, I shall always wait for tomorrow.” - Edgar Rice Burroughs, Pellucidar

David Innes left some matters unsolved after his first adventure in Pellucidar – the fantastic world underneath Earth’s crust – and now he is ready to face them and set things right. So he returns to Pellucidar, tries to map the new world and save his lost companions in the process. Will the Mahar stop him? Will the Human Race from the interior be ever free?

Editorial Reviews

[Editor’s Note: The following is a combined review with AT THE EARTH’S CORE.]--Books of fantastic adventure were much beloved in early twentieth-century America, and no writer rode the crest more effectively than Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of the Tarzan and the Princess of Mars series, among others. His books, with many million sold, are gradually entering the public domain. Indeed, free downloads of them can be found at several Web sites. The two books featured here begin the seven-volume saga of David Innes and his exploration of the savage inner side of our supposedly hollow earth. An eternal noonday sun illumines a land of huge and ravenous beasts, many prehistoric; fierce humans; and other intelligent life-forms. Patrick Lawlor is good with characterization. Especially good at bringing excitement into his youthful-sounding voice, he makes the listener want to keep listening. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
