At the Earth's Core

Pellucidar 1

"At the Earth's Core" is a fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, part of his series about the fictional "hollow earth" land of Pellucidar. David Innes is a mining heir who finances the experimental "iron mole," an excavating vehicle designed by his elderly inventor friend Abner Perry. In a test run, they discover the vehicle cannot be turned, and it burrows 500 miles into the Earth's crust, emerging into the unknown interior world of Pellucidar.

Pellucidar is inhabited by prehistoric creatures of all geological eras, and dominated by the Mahars, a species of flying reptile both intelligent and civilized, but which enslaves and preys on the local stone-age humans. Innes and Perry are captured by the Mahars' apelike Sagoth servants and taken with other human captives to the chief Mahar city of Phutra. Among their fellow captives are the brave Ghak, the Hairy One, from the country of Sari, the shifty Hooja the Sly One and the lovely Dian the Beautiful of Amoz.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

A solid offering.

I enjoyed it overall. It's a solid offering from that era. Cons are creatures are a tad bland for my tastes. it's not a disappointment by any stretch of the imagination.

At the Earths Core

I remember reading these books when I was around 13 years old, thought it would be fun to listen to this in my old age, enjoyed it ever bit as much as when I was a kid.
