DESCRIPTION:
U-571 Meets The Lost World This is the classic "Dinosaur Island" tale. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lost World" is about contemporary with this one, written in the WWI period. It precedes the spate of 50s Dinosaur Island movies (such as the 1957 "The Land Unknown"), and of course, "Jurassic Park" by a number of decades. But, instead of the pulp-hero Professor Challenger and his associates, the dinos and cavemen are confronted by survivors of a torp. Hidden gem in a sea of classics Don't forget that the free version is not the entire trilogy. The next two are "The People That Time Forgot" and "Out of Time's Abyss" (both also free).

His narration did not disappoint.The story takes place du
When adventurer Bowen Tyler is taken aboard an enemy submarine, he never dreams that his voyage will end in a land where time itself is prisoner. Surrounded by dinosaurs and Bronze Age warriors, saber-toothed tigers and cunning beast-men, Bowen Tyler begins to unravel the incredible secret of Caspak--even as he battles to save the life of the woman he loves.. But in the uncharted seas at the bottom of the world, Tyler and the crew of the U-33 discover the mysterious forgotten continent of Caspak, where the savage denizens of a thousand lost ages roam vast primeval jungles
But, as Mike Resnick writes in his introduction to this commemorative edition of Burroughs's immensely popular trilogy The Land That Time Forgot, first published in 1924, almost every book Burroughs wrote remains in print, and countless readers turn to his Mars and Tarzan novels every day. In Land, Burroughs concocts a fabulous microworld, located somewhere in the South Pacific, called Caspak. Burroughs wasn't much of an artist. On this mountainous island live winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals
