About This Book

After a radio message reports that an emperor of a hidden inner world has been captured, a famed jungle warrior organizes a rescue expedition, supervises construction of a giant dirigible, and travels through the polar entrance to a sunlit hollow Earth. Upon arrival the group becomes separated, and members confront prehistoric beasts, hostile tribes, underground swamps and caverns in a series of episodic adventures that alternate solo survival and cooperative daring. The narrative pairs pulp action with imaginative worldbuilding—describing a timeless, always-noon inner world—while driving toward escape, reunion, and the attempt to free the imprisoned ruler.

THE KING OF THE JUNGLE
IN THE LAND OF THE NOONDAY SUN

When word came from the inner world that David Innes, Emperor of Pellucidar, was imprisoned in a Korsar dungeon, Jason Gridley sped to the jungles of Africa to seek aid from the one man capable of besting the terrors of savage Pellucidar. And Tarzan, true to his reputation, organized an expedition, supervised construction of a giant dirigible, and set off at once for the polar entrance to the hidden land.

But having arrived, Tarzan realized the worst was yet before them. For almost immediately, Tarzan, Jason, Captain Zuppner and the ten Waziri warriors became separated—each forced to face the terrors of the unknown alone.

The thrills of man against prehistoric monster are at fever pitch in TARZAN AT THE EARTH'S CORE.
