Publisher Description
Back to the Stone Age was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and first published in 1937. The fifth installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Pellucidar series, Back to the Stone Age recounts the strange adventures of Lieutenant von Horst, a member of the original crew that sailed to Pellucidar with Jason Gridley and Tarzan who is left behind in the inner world. Von Horst wanders friendless and alone from one danger to the next among the Stone Age peoples, mighty reptiles, and huge animals that have been extinct on the outer crust for thousands of years. But woven among the tales of savage cave men in the country of the Basti, the hideous Gorbuses in the caverns beneath the Forest of Death, and the terrible Gaz is the story of the love this cultured hero feels for a barbarian slave girl who has spurned and discouraged him, working instead toward her own mysterious goal.

Another Burroughs Classic
Pellucidar is packed with strange men-like creatures around every corner! From the Mammoth Men to the Bison Men, there is no telling what strange twist of evolution the lost German Wilhelm Von Horst will encounter next. Only the beautiful little cave-girl who has won his heart makes life worth living for the abandoned man who never expects to see the outer world again. Enjoyable read for any fan of ERB. Full of the amazing coincidental encounters with his friends that endear the true Burroughs fan.
