Korak at the Earth's Core

Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe

De: Win Scott Eckert

Narrado por: John McLain

Korak the Killer, jungle-raised son of Tarzan of the Apes, sets off into the wilds of the prehistoric world at the Earth’s core to rescue his daughter Suzanne Clayton, who has gone missing in the mysterious Land of Awful Shadow. But when the airship O-220 is hijacked, Korak and his Mangani friend Akut are stranded and must fight their way across the savage lands and seas of Pellucidar. Meanwhile, Korak’s mate Meriem risks everything in a perilous gambit to quickly reach the inner world. And what of the enigmatic Dead World, the pendant moon that hangs eternally above the Land of Awful Shadow and is taboo to the Stone Age peoples of Pellucidar? Will it give up its secrets as Korak and Meriem search for Suzanne—or spell their doom?

Includes the bonus novella “Pellucidar: Dawn of the Deathslayer” by Christopher Paul Carey

When citizens on the far frontier of the Federated Kingdoms of Pellucidar begin to go missing, a lone warrior with nothing left to lose sets off to investigate. But the dark secret he finds lying in the Charnel Caves beneath the Forest of Death will lay bare the past he seeks to escape and awaken that for which he could never be prepared.

THE FIRST UNIVERSE OF ITS KIND

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 Clayton, 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 novels written by today’s talented authors!

Back to the inner world

The new super arc storyline begins here. This time the story circles the mystery of the dead world... the pendant moon within Pellucidar. After rushing to Pellucidar to locate his missing daughter, Korak is thrust into several nonstop adventures along with his mangani companion, Akut. It starts with an airship hijacking and gets wilder from there, with the end result of a Abner Perry built biplane flight to the mysterious internal moon. Meanwhile, Merriam, Koraks mate, is more than a bit annoyed that he left the surface world without waiting for her to join him. She proceeds to take a more direct, if unconventional route to the savage world. There she stuck on a desert island, befriended by giant turtles, and is menaced by multiple prehistoric sea monsters, and then flies to the dead world herself.

we're only about half way through the book here. It's quite good and quite entertaining.

We're also treated to a novella follow-up to Victory Harben: The Fires of Halos. In this case we follow Jansen Gridley on an adventure into the Land of Awful Shadow, where he gets mixed up with a strange tribe's religion and internal politics. It's a fast paced story with likable characters.

I strongly recommend this whole series.
