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.

What an imagination!
I enjoyed this story. It was so well told, so well written, so well arranged. I could almost believe it to be true, and it was most absorbing.

Truly a fantastic book. Admittedly, the beginning dragged a little as most classic adventure stories do. But this was not too bad so please hold out.
However getting into the meat of the story, It is enthralling and exciting. Super well written, with intelligent characters and absorbing world building. 100% recommend
