Pellucidar
(Book 1 in the Pellucidar Series)
Pellucidar appeared as a 5-part serial in All-Story Cavalier Weekly (which changed its name during the run to All-Story Weekly) May 1-29, 1915. The book was published Sept 5, 1923 by A.C.McClurg & Co.Picking up where the first adventure, At The Earthâs Core left off, Pellucidar tells the story of David Innesâ return to Inner Earth.
The iron mole departs from the Sahara Desert and emerges in an unknown region of the Earthâs core. There, Innes wanders through vast uninhabited regions in search of a man or tribe who can direct him to Sari, the capital of his fledgling kingdom.Innes saves Abner Perry, who was being pursued by Sagoths. With the goal of finding Dian the Beautiful One in Sari, the two cross the Mountains of the Clouds, narrowly surviving the cold, unforgiving landscape.
After many adventures they begin the task of modernization of Pelluciar.As adventure stories go, this second book in the Pellucidar series is perhaps a cut below the others. However, as a continuation of the series it carries the story forward to the new adventures in this essential series for all Burroughs fans. (Note: a comprehensive glossary of all things Pellucidar starts on Page 101.)
