And between them and rescue lies a thousand miles of deadly enemies and unknown dangers.<\/em><\/p>\n The Barsoom, the first Earth-Mars vessel, is sabotaged on its maiden flight and forced to enter a crater and make an emergency landing inside the hollow Moon. The crew discovers a world hidden from the most powerful telescopes on Earth\u2014a world of winged women, of conical cities, and of semi-human monsters. But what the earthly visitors don\u2019t know is that they are about to face a danger greater than at any time since they left their own planet.<\/em><\/p>\n Carson Napier is bound for Mars when he is forced to crash-land on the planet Venus instead. Beneath the eternal clouds Carson discovers a seeming utopia, a world populated by a wise and beautiful people blessed with everlasting youth. But despite their wisdom, a horrible danger threatens the fair folk of Vepaja, and at the heart of it is the lovely princess Duare, whose beauty is as unattainable as the evening star. And Carson, having seen her, knows he has met his destiny.<\/em><\/p>\n Orphaned as a babe in the African jungle, the only child of the Lord and Lady Greystoke is rescued by a tribe of great apes. Now named \u201cTarzan,\u201d the child grows to manhood in this savage world. Aided by his keen knife and innate intelligence, Tarzan ascends to become king of the apes, able to face any peril and conquer all foes. But when men come to Tarzan\u2019s jungle, they bring danger that is motivated by greed and deceit. All of Tarzan\u2019s cunning will be required if he is to defeat this threat, and win the love of Jane Porter, the beautiful young woman whose appearance in his jungle has left him forever changed.<\/p>\n When David Innes and his inventor friend Abner Perry pierce the inner crust of Earth in their new burrowing machine, they break into a strange inner world of eternal daylight\u2014a world of the Stone Age, where prehistoric monsters still live, and cave men and women battle against cruel, inhuman masters\u2014the dreaded reptilian overlords known as the Mahars.<\/p>\n Bowen Tyler\u2019s adventure begins with a terror-haunted voyage as a captive in an enemy submarine. It ends on the rocky shores of a lost world, an unmapped land forgotten by the rest of humanity, where primordial beasts and beast-men still live and fight as they did hundreds of thousands of years ago. What is the secret of this mysterious continent, where time has apparently stopped and where dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, and ape-men still struggle for their lives with tooth and claw?<\/p>\n If you order Cosmic Epics<\/em>\u00a0and Savage Epics<\/em>\u00a0in any edition (paperback, hardcover, or Collector\u2019s Edition) directly from our online store, your order will come with an elegant\u00a0commemorative Edgar Rice Burroughs bookmark<\/a>\u00a0bearing the quote, \u201cNo fiction is worth reading except for entertainment.
