Bowen Tyler is trapped somewhere in the lost land of Caspak, and Tom Billings flies over the barrier cliffs to rescue him, into a world where evolution runs its whole course in a single life.

Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1918 novel is a rousing lost-world adventure, second of the Caspak trilogy. Vivid, thrilling, gloriously imaginative. Read it for classic ERB, a daring rescue mission into a prehistoric world of dinosaurs and ape-men, where the strange secret of Caspak's biology unfolds amid headlong peril and romance.
