Pellucidar
BY THE AUTHOR OF "Tarzan"
When David Innes returned from the outer world to Pellucidar, the land "At the Earth's Core," he brought with him such implements as might aid him to establish the Empire of which he dreamed.
But David and his friend Perry were dealt unexpectedly heavy blows that set back their scheme to bring civilization to the Stone Age land. For Hooja the Sly One was quick to turn David's advantages against him, dealing the cruelest blow by the abduction of Dian the Beautiful One.
In a land of savagery and eternal sunlight, David and Perry live an adventure that only the inspired pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of Tarzan novels, could write.

In the hidden world at the Earth's core, David Innes who first discovered it, was struggling to carve a civilization out of its Stone Age perils, but he had to drop his work to embark on a hunt for the kidnapped empress, the cavewoman Dian the Beautiful. His search for Dian, his use of surface science against Pellucidar monsterdom, makes Edgar Rice Burroughs' PELLUCIDAR an action-packed high-adventure science-fiction novel.
