Entre mares helados, rodeado por acantilados inexpugnables, allá donde ningún hombre se ha atrevido a poner el pie, se alza una isla continente descubierta brevemente por un explorador italiano que le dio su nombre: CAPRONA, conocida por sus extraños habitantes como Caspak. Es la tierra que el tiempo olvidó, un rompecabezas evolutivo donde razas de hombres y animales juegan un extraño ritual que sólo puede tener dos resultados: la muerte o la ascensión a un plano superior. De los dinosaurios a los mamuts, de los antepasados del Homo sapiens a los fantasmagóricos seres voladores que pueblan sus valles, cazadores y presas parecen proceder de un mismo limo primigenio que sigue sus propias reglas. Un mundo salvaje y violento, donde la vida no vale nada y los desdichados náufragos que llegan a sus junglas descubrirán que ni siquiera su tecnología de hombres de los albores del siglo veinte puede asegurarles una superioridad para la que tendrán que luchar a brazo partido, en todo momento, contra homínidos y bestias... Edgar Rice Burroughs le da la vuelta a las teorías de la evolución. El resultado, una aventura apasionante. La tercera novela, "Desde el abismo del tiempo" ("Out of time's abyss"), sigue un esquema muy similar a las anteriores, aunque las pequeñas diferencias resulten muy significativas. En esta ocasión el protagonismo recae en Bradley, uno de los compañeros de Tyler en "La tierra olvidada por el tiempo" a quien se ha dado presuntamente por perdido en compañía de una pequeña unidad de exploración. En realidad, Bradley resulta capturado por los Wieroos, una raza que compite con los Ga-lus por la supremacia en Caspak. Los Wieroos tienen apariencia más o menos humana, aunque están dotados de dos poderosas alas que les permiten vivir apartados de los monstruos prehistóricos, en una isla de la zona norte del mar interior. Desde tiempos inmemoriales, se dedican a capturar mujeres ga-lu con motivos puramente lujuriosos (pues no nacen hembras Wieroo), mientras buscan el secreto que les permita romper el ciclo evolutivo imperante en Caspak. Bradley, conducido a la principal ciudad Wieroo, debe luchar para escapar (en compañía, por supuesto, de una bella mujer, Co-tan, prisionera también).

As Barney tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding the king's disappearance, he must also confront his own identity and decide whether he wants to continue living as a commoner or embrace his newfound royal status. The Mad King is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of power.After a time the men tired of the sport of king-baiting, for Barney showed neither rancor nor outraged majesty at their keenest thrusts, instead, often joining in the laugh with them at his own expense. They thought it odd that the king should hold his dignity in so low esteem, but that he was king they never doubted, attributing his denials to a disposition to deceive them, and rob them of the ""king's ransom"" they had already commenced to consider as their own.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
