Synopsis "land of terror"
If you have ever wondered what a civilized man of the twentieth century would do if catapulted into an Old Stone Age where huge cave bears, saber-toothed tigers, monstrous carnivorous dinosaurs, mammoths, and mastodons roamed the savage terrain, you need look no further than Land of Terror, the sixth installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Pellucidar series. Years ago David Innes and Abner Perry bored straight down through five hundred miles of the earth's crust and landed in Pellucidar, the savage, primeval world that lies at the center of the earth. This is the story of their continuing adventures in the timeless land of perpetual noon and their encounters with the hideous creatures and savage men who pursue them. Although they encounter enemies at every turn, David and Abner find a few loyal friends as they embark on exhilarating adventures. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the legendary author of dozens of novels, including Tarzan of the Apes, The Land That Time Forgot, and Beyond Thirty, the latter two available in Bison Books editions. Anne Harris is the award-winning author of The Nature of Smoke, Accidental Creatures, and Inventing Memory, provides an introduction to this Bison Books edition.
