Riassunto

When adventurer Bowen Tyler was taken captive aboard an enemy submarine, he never dreamed that his voyage would end in the land that time forgot. It is a land called Caspak, a land of myth and fable: located somewhere on a mountainous island in the South Pacific, populated with winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles who all terrorize one another -- and Bowen Tyler, and the submarine's mixed crew of World War I-era adventurers. Stranded on the beach, they fight their way across the island, through dinosaurs and Bronze Age warriors, saber-toothed tigers and cunning beast-men. They dine on Plesiosaurus steaks and face incredible dangers, meet and fall in love with a jungle princess -- and unravel the incredible secret of Caspak. . . .

Informazioni sull?autore

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
