Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
A World War I–era manuscript is found at sea. It tells an astonishing tale of espionage, combat, and a tropical island where evolution follows its own harrowing path. The Land That Time Forgot is the first book in famed science fiction writer Edgar Rice Burroughs’ trilogy of high-adventure tales about an undiscovered land called Caspak.
The series starts off with a German U-boat sinking a passenger ship. A handful of survivors, including an American named Bowen Tyler and several British officers, end up taking over the U-boat and eventually stranding all the combatants on a lush island that shouldn’t exist. Here, dinosaurs and Neanderthals live alongside winged humanlike hunters. To survive the nightmare trials ahead, enemies must join forces. From the first page to the last, The Land That Time Forgot is a gripping read full of unexpected twists and heart-stopping danger that will appeal to anyone who loves action-packed adventure stories.
Customer Reviews
Unbelievable tale but completely absorbing
Although it’s a complete creation of fiction from the time of “discovery “ of “The Land That Time Forgot” it still kept me reading I enjoyed it immensely
Rubbish
A mishmash of ideas and nonsense suitable for 1916 boys
Truly a dreadful novel
Even accounting for changing tastes over the past century, it reads like the self-insert fantasy written by a thirteen year old boy armed with a dictionary.
