TERROR FROM THE SKY
Young sea captain Fausto Caproni and sister Marina barely escaped with their lives from the mysterious lost continent of Caspak. Now, two years later, the Capronis return to the savage world, but this time, the quest is for gold. While Fausto hopes the spoils of a hasty mining operation will save his neck from the nefarious criminals to whom he owes a great debt, Marina is returning for a very personal reason: love. But can the handsome warrior with whom she reluctantly parted two years ago still be alive in the terrifying world crawling with prehistoric predators and the hideous, flying beings known as the Wieroos?

Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure™
The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes® and John Carter of Mars®, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world’s most popular authors. Mr. Burroughs’ timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom® to the miles-high forests of Amtor™ and the savage inner world of Pellucidar®, and even to alien civilizations Beyond the Farthest Star™. Mr. Burroughs’ books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.
Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe™
A century before the term “crossover” became a buzzword in popular culture, Edgar Rice Burroughs created the first expansive, fully cohesive literary universe. Coexisting in this vast cosmos was a pantheon of immortal heroes and heroines—Tarzan of the Apes®, Jane Porter®, John Carter®, Dejah Thoris®, Carson Napier™, and David Innes™ being only the best known among them. In Burroughs’ 80-plus novels, their epic adventures transported them to the strange and exotic worlds of Barsoom®, Amtor™, Pellucidar®, Caspak™, and Va-nah™, as well as the lost civilizations of Earth and even realms Beyond the Farthest Star™. Now the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe expands in an all-new series of canonical tales written by today’s talented authors!
