Publisher Description
In uncharted Caprona, a continent lost from the map of the earth, where time had stopped and all the primeval creatures of long-gone ages still prowled, Bowen Tyler was lost. To find Tyler, Tom Billings traveled across the world to Caprona, with all the weaponry the modern world afforded. A light hydroplane would allow him to scale the perilous wall of cliffs that surrounded the island and rifles, pistols, and ammunition would provide protection against the monstrous prehistoric beings Tyler had so vividly described. But even stranger mysteries awaited him where that barbaric civilization hid, torn between the impassable jungle on the one side and an unknown menace on the other.

"I find Burroughs uneven and really blockheaded much of the time, so I was a bit surprised at how much I enjoyed the first two books of this series. Straightforward pulp sci-fi adventure with lots of blood and thunder. A bit too much weird-ass worldbuilding in this one, but still I liked it a lot. "
— Thomas (4 out of 5 stars)

" A great sequel to "The Land that Time Forgot." "
— Charles, 1/18/2014 -
" An interesting look at a forgotten name. Some of the ideas are pretty cool, although the level of biomass seems a little unrealistic (ok, I know I'm nitpicking at this point!). "
— Lindsay, 12/22/2013 -
" Ex-cowboy Tom Billings leads a rescue mission to save Bowen Tyler, the protagonist of The Land That Time Forgot. In the midst of hair-raising adventures, he has more trouble keeping his own skin intact than in finding his friend. "
— Eddy, 12/22/2013 -
" Made up names for all the different stages of evolution made this book lose a star for me, still a great followup to the original. "
— John, 12/12/2013 -
" Liked this tale a bit more than the first one. I enjoyed the darwinian worldview in its proper fictional place. Look forward to the next one in the series. "

" I got the short version of this one, but that is okay. This is one of those stories that can be read over and over and still be enjoyed. "

" Good story. More a continuation of the Land That Time Forgot, which is good as the first ended with a cliff hanger. "

" Not nearly as good as the first, and branches off to a new character, but it does feature something different as it explores the people of Caspak and their bizarre evolutionary traits. "
