Publisher Description

When adventurer Bowen Tyler is taken aboard an enemy submarine, he never dreams that his voyage will end in a land where time itself is prisoner. But in the uncharted seas at the bottom of the world, Tyler and the crew of the U-33 discover the mysterious forgotten continent of Caspak, where the savage denizens of a thousand lost ages roam vast primeval jungles. Surrounded by dinosaurs and Bronze Age warriors, saber-toothed tigers and cunning beast-men, Bowen Tyler begins to unravel the incredible secret of Caspak—even as he battles to save the life of the woman he loves.

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Very much in the same tone and subject matter as Burroughs' John Carter series, but not anywhere near as good. The world wasn't as amazing, the hero wasn't as heroic and this doesn't come anywhere near the love story between John Carter and Dejah Thoris. Still, it was fast and passable, but l'd skip it and read "A Princess of Mars" instead. "

    " An adventurous read with a likeable main character, although the villains of the piece could be better explored. I'm not quite sure how well the idea of spontaneous evolution sits with me, but I'm also interested in reading more about it in the next book of the trilogy. "

    " A view of a novelist with an imagination worthy of the early authors of science fiction. Burroughs was a fascinating man and delved into several theories of Evolution. Ready for the second in the series. "

    " Meh. After reading the lost world I can say this is just a spare time book written on the back of a cigarette packet. Good idea, couldn't be bothered to expand. "

    " In Land Before Time, Burroughs concocts a fabulous microworld, located somewhere in the South Pacific, called Caspak. On this mountainous island live winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles; they terrorize each other, to say nothing of the mixed crew of World War I-era adventurers who inadvertently land on a Caspakian beach and fight their way across the island, dining on Plesiosaurus steaks and having a grand old time in the company of a jungle princess. The story streaks onward like a bullet toward its surprise ending, and it's pure fun all the way. "

    " At first I thought I had begun to read the wrong book as the first few chapters center around a U-boat. I was starting to think that I was in for a sea journey but then the crew arrives on the island. They encounter and survive exchanges with 'cavemen' and prehistoric creatures. Modern technology helps with this and I had to wonder if the author was making connections to 'manifest destiny'. The is also a love interest and overall a pretty cool read once put into the context of the time that it was written. "

    " Listened to this on the road. It's a fun adventure story with lots of parallels to others. I'm not well versed in this type of literature so I can't say whether it ground breaking or derivative, but it's not unique now. Still: enjoyable. "

    " Gaaah!! This is why I read Burroughs. Cheesy, straightforward, gutsy pulp. It feels like he superglued two stories together -- the adventure with a hijacked U-Boat and an adventure in a lost world island of dinosaurs. But I don't care! I love them both! Obvious, predictable and deeply satisfying. "
