Synopsis
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.
