COVER TEXT:
Somewhere in the
unexplored
heart of Africa a part of this Earth had been taken over by an
intelligence from outer space. Such was the message that reached the
explorer Hareton Ironcastle, member of the famous Baltimore Gun Club.
In that hidden and transformed valley would now be found monsters and
pre-humans not to be seen anywhere else.
Such a challenge could not be
ignored, and the account of Ironcastle's expedition of daring but
inexperienced amateurs became one of the classic novels of the French
writer, J.H. Rosny, who was a contemporary of Verne, Wells, and Edgar
Rice Burroughs.
Now Philip José Farmer, Hugo winner and chronicler of the
adventures of Tarzan and Doc Savage, has translated and retold Rosny's
novel, making it a marvel adventure novel to stand alongside the works
of Burroughs, Haggard and Farmer himself.
