About the Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was born in Chicago, Illinois and spent much of his adult life working various jobs. When he was unable to maintain steady employment, he began writing fiction in his spare time. He solicited pulp magazines and published his first story “Under the Moons of Mars,” in 1912. It jumpstarted his literary career, which would soon consist of classic science fiction, fantasy and adventure novels. His most enduring titles include Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, which is part of the popular Barsoom novel series.

Times Literary Supplement

[Editor’s Note: The following is a combined review with PELLUCIDAR.]--Books of fantastic adventure were much beloved in early twentieth-century America, and no writer rode the crest more effectively than Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of the Tarzan and the Princess of Mars series, among others. His books, with many million sold, are gradually entering the public domain. Indeed, free downloads of them can be found at several Web sites. The two books featured here begin the seven-volume saga of David Innes and his exploration of the savage inner side of our supposedly hollow earth. An eternal noonday sun illumines a land of huge and ravenous beasts, many prehistoric; fierce humans; and other intelligent life-forms. Patrick Lawlor is good with characterization. Especially good at bringing excitement into his youthful-sounding voice, he makes the listener want to keep listening. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
