Historic New Edition Restoring Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Original Manuscript Text<\/h3>\n

In 1940, as the world hurtled into the darkness of global conflict, Edgar Rice Burroughs turned his legendary writing talents toward an interstellar tale of wonder and adventure set on a war-racked planet\u2014one whose star was so distant that it was invisible to the Earth\u2019s most powerful telescopes. Featuring a protagonist who is transported to the planet Poloda by means reminiscent of John Carter\u2019s projection to Mars, Beyond the Farthest Star<\/em> is set in a wholly unique solar system in which all the planets are aligned in the same orbit and connected by means of an atmosphere tube that allows for potential travel between worlds via airplane.<\/p>\n

What has been unknown to readers is that the 1941 Blue Book<\/em> magazine publication comprising Part I of Beyond the Farthest Star<\/em> was heavily edited, with a substantial number of line edits on almost every page and several lengthy and meaningful passages\u2014some more than a page long\u2014excised throughout. That altered and abridged text was used as the basis for all book editions of the novel\u2014until now. We are pleased to announce that we have gone back to Edgar Rice Burroughs\u2019 original typescript from our archives in Tarzana, California, and restored the author\u2019s preferred text of the novel in Beyond the Farthest Star: Restored Edition<\/em>. Now, for the first time, enjoy this classic science fiction adventure in the way that Edgar Rice Burroughs intended it to be read!<\/p>\n

The Beyond the Farthest Star: Restored Edition<\/em> will be available in a trade paperback, a hardcover edition and a hardcover Collector\u2019s Edition. All editions will feature a newly commissioned frontispiece by renowned artist Mark Schultz; classic interior illustrations by Roy G. Krenkel; an introduction by noted science fiction author Paul Di Filippo; a preface by ERB, Inc. Director of Publishing Christopher Paul Carey discussing the restorations to the text; maps of the planet Poloda and the Omos star system; a diagram of the Unisan alphabet and numbers; and an extensive section of rare and previously unpublished bonus materials mined from the archives of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., in Tarzana, California. The book is expected to ship Early Fall 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frontispiece by Mark Schultz<\/p><\/div>\n

A Planet in Peril<\/h3>\n

When Nazi warplanes blast an American fighter pilot out of the sky, he awakens not in the expected afterlife but on a far-flung planet\u2014one of eleven interconnected worlds hurtling around a strangely constructed star system. On Poloda, he earns a new name\u2014Tangor, one who came from nothing\u2014and a new home among the brave people of Unis, a nation locked in perpetual war against the brutish, totalitarian Kapars. But when news comes of a powerful invention that could turn the tides of the conflict, Tangor must undertake a daring undercover mission behind enemy lines. There, in vile Kapara, he will not only risk life and limb, but also brand himself as a traitor in the eyes of his newfound friends, as he continues his fight for freedom beyond the farthest star!<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Burroughs\u2019 books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.<\/p>\n

Danton Burroughs said of him, \u201cRoy Krenkel was a key factor in the 1960s revival of my grandfather\u2019s writings.
