Beyond a wall of icebound cliffs, a lost world may still hold people who need rescuing.
In Edgar Rice Burroughs’s The People That Time Forgot, a strange manuscript brings doubt and hope to a library in Santa Monica. Bowen Tyler describes Caspak, a prehistoric world within Caprona. He and Miss La Rue are missing, and his account offers a troubling possibility: they may still be alive among creatures that seem to belong to another age.
Tom Billings takes command of a rescue expedition aboard the Toreador. An unreliable map makes Caprona hard to find, while icebergs crowd the surrounding sea. Finding the island is only the beginning. Sheer cliffs block the way into Caspak, and the passage beneath them admits a submarine—not their yacht. Loyalty now demands more than courage; it demands a way inside.
