5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Adventure Story As Innes Returns To The Inner Earth World
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014
Verified Purchase
One of the marks of a great writer is that he can take an unbelievable situation and make it sound true and accurate and believable. “Pellucidar”is book two of the seven-volume Pellucidar series by Burroughs, which tells the story of the adventures in a hollow-earth world where intelligent reptiles were the dominant species and humans were stuck in stone age civilization. One of the remarkable things Burroughs created in this hollow-world are the fact that, without sunrise or sunset, there is simply an eternal mid-day sun and thus no real conception of time. Although he was not the first one to ever postulate the existence of an inner-earth world, no one either before or since has done it half as well. Above all, this book, like the others in this terrific series, is a wonderful adventure story of fighting and chivalry.

In the first book in the series (“At the Earth’s Core”), Innes and Perry tunneled into this inner-world in a mighty metal prospector, not having any idea that it ever existed. At the end of the first book, Innes returns to the outer crust to gather arms, tools, and books so that he and Perry can advance human civilization in the inner world and take on the Mahar (reptile) empire. This second book of the series details Innes return to the inner world and his adventures there and how with his tools, weapons, and technological know-how brought back from the outer world, he leads a federation of stone age kingdoms in battle against the Mahars, bringing to bear weapons that no one in the inner world could ever have dreamed of.

It is truly a great story and, once you expect the conceit that there is an inner world with an inner sun and intelligent creatures there of many kinds, you will enjoy this book immensely. It is simply a great adventure story and quite enjoyable to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the classics of pulp fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a classic of pulp fantasy and that is what you get when you buy it. It is not the finest writing and the story is pretty much the same as what you will find in nearly any of the ERB stories like this (Barsoom, Tarzan, etc.) So if you like that kind of story, you will like this book.
I read this because it was a classic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just remember that it was written in a different time and place and that the social attitudes (especially those towards women) are the product of their time. On the whole this was a fun (and quick) read. If you liked other books by Burroughs you will like this one and its sequels.

5.0 out of 5 stars ERB Classic
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2013
Verified Purchase
Sitting down with one of these "old " ERB books is like spending an afternoon with an old friend. This is one of the books that I read as a pre-teen, I am now in my seventies. I enjoyed them then, and they are still just as enjoyable, if you keep in mind the time and world in which they were written. There is a quality in the writing that might escape some readers. ERB, through his characters, displays a self deprecating sense of self assurrance. His characters often say things like," I was not" the best of this or that, but I put every ounce of skill or training or whatever it took to meet the situation at hand to accomplish a task. His characters establish friendships and are loyal to friends and family to the point of self denial and loss of self satisfaction, qualities which might not be understood these days.
I also like the book just for it's sense of escape and adventure.

This would be a good book for socialists. The outer world has tried this concept for centuries, without success. This concept is used in Africa today and the tribes are very poor. I know this book is a fantasy,but still.

4.0 out of 5 stars I would have enjoyed Pellucidar a bit less
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
Pellucidar is a sequel to "At the Earth's Core", so if you don't read that first, it will may be harder to appreciate Pellucidar. As one who did read the first book, I can only imagine that if I had not, I would have enjoyed Pellucidar a bit less. In any case, they are both easy, fun reads that never bore. They are not very long, which makes them easier to start and finish than a typical Tarzan. Burroughs' At the Earth's Core stories are also different in that they are told in the first person. In any case, you can't beat free, so I suggest starting with At the Earth's Core and moving on to Pellucidar if you like the first book. Light Kindle fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2007

Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan!

These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it.

This second volume of Pellucidar novels reflects a sharp drop in quality form the first. Nevertheless, for completists, this beautiful edition is a must. And second grade ERB is usually better than most of other fantasy/science fiction/romance writers' first grade.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd in the Pellucidar series and still good.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is one of Burroughs' book in the Pellucidar series. The series involves the exploration of a land mass formed when the earth cooled. This formed a shell as Earth's center core continued to shrink and separated from the shell. We live on the outside. Other people live on the inner surface of the shell. That land area is Pellucidar.

There are seven books, I believe. in the series. Go to Australia's Gutenberg to get them all.
They all form a continuing flow as the current book takes up some unresolved condition in a previous book. And, then leaves something for the next book to hook onto.
Does this Burroughs fella know how to keep a pot boiling and then bring 'em back for the next one? You bet!

4.0 out of 5 stars A quaint and naive story
Reviewed in Australia on February 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
I love Edgar's stories. He imagine great worlds and puts an imaginative story in them. One forgives him the naivete of his understanding of human nature.
This book was particularly amusing in due to its apparent translation into English by an AI or a non-English speaker with access to dictionary and thesaurus. I spent many hours trying to decipher what Edgar may have actually written.
A great read.
