3 volumes1918Completed

  • Edgar Rice Burroughs’s three linked adventure novels, first published in a pulp magazine in 1918.
  • During the First World War, the survivors of a ship sunk by a German U-boat capture the submarine and drift to Caprona, an uncharted island near Antarctica where dinosaurs, cave people and stranger beings live side by side, because there every creature climbs the ladder of evolution within its own lifetime.
  • Fast, pulpy and dated in its attitudes, with a genuinely odd central idea.
  • Filmed in the 1970s.
  • No book has enough ratings yet.
  • Read in order.

How this plan is calculated
