Caspak
The Complete “Land That Time Forgot” Trilogy
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
This quality edition has been prepared by human editors and is not a machine-scanned reproduction of old editions. It includes the complete text of all three novels comprising Edgar Rice Burrough’s “Caspak” trilogy, “The Land that Time Forgot”, “The People that Time Forgot” and “Out of Time’s Abyss” in a freshly edited and newly formatted volume printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover.
Originally written under the working title “The Lost U-Boat” and published as a three-part serial in 1918, the three tales chronicle the adventures of the survivors of a torpedoed ship and the German u-boat crew on the lost island of “Caprona”, called “Caspak” by the native inhabitants, and the members of the expedition that sets out to rescue the survivors.
In Edgar Rice Burroughs’ trademark style, the lost mariners are thrown into a series of non-stop adventures at a breakneck pace, with the Germans pitted against the British and American survivors, the humans pitted against dinosaurs and other monstrous creatures, and the modern castaways in conflict with the native inhabitants, themselves divided into groups at distinctly different human evolutionary stages and harboring a bizarre secret that dominates human life on the island.
Later published as a novel under the title “The People That Time Forgot”, the original three serial segments, clearly part of a single narrative, were subsequently published as three separate short novels in paperbacks widely available for many years, and that presentation became the norm, establishing the three stories as the “Caspak Trilogy.”
Additional material includes a biographical sketch of the author and a detailed bibliography of his work.
