Publisher Description: Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- An eccentric old inventor, Abner Perry, builds a giant "iron mole" vehicle which takes him and his friend David Innes on an unexpected expedition to the earth's unexplored core. They end up in an upside down world where time doesn't exist and the human inhabitants are the slaves and lab rats of a prehistoric race of pterosaurs. Humans are mercilessly stalked, captured, and herded by armies of ape-men. Dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts are around every corner. Land, sea, or air, no place is safe for our heroes. Action drives this story along at a ripcord pace. Will they escape this primeval hell? A dreamy yet sometimes nightmarish excursion into the world beneath our world: Pellucidar With ugly cavemen, beautiful cavewomen, armies of ape-men, a wide variety of dinosaurs, man-eating reptile birds that rule the underworld, and giant mechanical mole machines, Burroughs packs a lot of oomph and pizzazz into this science romance. Edgar Rice Burrough's books are highly entertaining and ingenious in their imagining of strange worlds and that's certainly the case with this one. Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy |
