About this product

Product Information

Five hundred miles beneath the earth's surface lies a fantastic, timeless world of eternal daylight, prehistoric beasts, and primeval peoples-Pellucidar. Pellucidar is a world within our world, a place where the horizon curves upward and merges with the sky. Here time stands still, for Pellucidar is illuminated by a miniature sun that never sets but hovers motionless in the sky. Scattered throughout the savage, prehistoric wilderness are communities of distrustful humans and the cities of the reptilian, highly evolved Mahars. David Innes and Abner Perry break through into this mysterious inner world. Their discovery of Pellucidar and the ensuing struggle to unite the human communities and overthrow the Mahars is a top-notch, thrilling tale of conquest, deceit, and wonder. This commemorative edition features an introduction by Gregory A. Benford and an afterword on the science of At the Earth's Core by Phillip R. Burger. Also included are a map of Pellucidar, a glossary of terms and names by Scott Tracy Griffin, a contemporary review, and the classic J. Allen St. John illustrations. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the legendary author of dozens of novels, including The Land That Time Forgot, also available in a Bison Frontiers of Imagination edition. Gregory A. Benford is a celebrated science fiction writer and a professor of physics at the University of California, Irvine. His most recent novel is Cosm. Phillip R. Burger is associate editor of The Burroughs Bulletin.

At the Earth's Core (Pellucidar Series Book 1)
Book one of the Pellucidar series Written in 1914, this Burroughs classic tells the story of David, a mining heir who decides to finance the "iron mole," a vehicle designed to burrow into the earth to find riches. The inventor, Abner Perry and David take it for a test run only to discover that the craft can't be turned and it runs out of control for almost 500 miles into the heart of the earth. One there they discover a hollow shell that is inhabited. This is another great classic by Edgar Rice Burroughs. it is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a great story and wants to read from the masters of science fiction.

Where are you?
Never received the product. Settled with dealer. The book is an excellent read and in my 'permanent' library I've read it at least twice. Every kid in America should read this just for the pleasure it brings. What an adventure!
