    About this audiobook

    Convinced of the worthiness of a giant, earthboring machine, David Innes becomes a willing participant in an experiment. On the machines maiden attempt at boring through the earth, David and inventor Perry are trapped in the control room as the machine turns into a runaway. It bores steadily down toward the center of the earth until finally it penetrates into a strange, subterranean world. The two travelers are immediately welcomed by a huge bearlike creature interested solely in having them for breakfast.

    Edgar Rice Burroughs

    American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) worked many odd jobs before professionally writing. Burroughs did not start writing until he was in his late 30s while working at a pencil-sharpener wholesaler. But after following his call to writing, Burroughs created one of America's most enduring adventure heroes: Tarzan. Along with his novels about Tarzan, Burroughs wrote the notable Barsoom series, which follows the Mars adventurer John Carter.

      The author's literary style is well developed and he set up and interesting story line in which for the first time Tarzan is lost. An American name Jason Gridley is set on rescuing David Innes from a lost world that lies under ours. A world with its own sun that never sets and the author can play with his ideas of evolution with the introduction of the snake people. And as in other “Lost Worlds” we have read about Tarzan has to fight prehistoric animals that the author claims are the ancestors to the creatures of Tarzan's jungle up above. With what seems like an entire world bent on the destruction of this intruder, Tarzan must persevere if he is to be successful in his rescue.
    • 4/5
      One must remember there were years between the books in this seven-book series, thus the poor rating and reading of the previous book disappears as ERB hits his stride with Tarzan and Pellucidar thrown together. Pellucidar triumphs over Tarzan in the story-telling, though, as we are inundated with several tribes of humans and some new beasts. Probably the most interesting are the Hibibs, the "snake people," who have taken another path on the evolutionary ladder. the Habib are cold-blooded, egg-laying scaly-skinned, chameleon color changing creatures in human form. The other interesting draw in this book is the Red Flower girl. She sounds like someone I'd like to meet,and so far in ERB's writings, I haven't come up with any female that has the devil in her such as Jana does.
    • 1/5
      Good action, seems very confused in theology vs. evolution and somewhat racist, but perhaps it just reflects the attitude of the times. Not really a book I would recommend to my boys, but it wouldn't hurt them, I just found myself very impatient with all the evolution theory.
