Overview

Hidden in the far South Pacific lies the lost island continent of Caprona, forgotten by history and time itself. In the year 1836, Sicilian Captain Fausto Caproni and his sister Marina lead a voyage across the raging seas to rediscover the fabled land first sighted by their grandfather-only to plunge into a terrifying tropical world known to its inhabitants as Caspak, thriving with giant carnivorous lizards and bestial tribesmen from the dawn of time. With only swords and muskets to defend themselves, the Caproni siblings are thrust into a desperate fight for survival against Caspak's primordial creatures, but a greater threat may be allies among the crew who harbor a deadly secret agenda. Bonus Novelette: ""Weird Worlds: Voyage into Terror"" by Mike Wolfer When Captain Douglas Conover and the crew of the vacuum airship Favonia embark on an exploratory mission through a dimensional barrier, they must confront the alien life-forms that infest a strange planetoid's surface . . . and its interior! Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe A century before the term ""crossover"" became a buzzword in popular culture, Edgar Rice Burroughs created the first expansive, fully cohesive literary universe. Coexisting in this vast cosmos was a pantheon of immortal heroes and heroines-Tarzan of the Apes, Jane Porter, John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Carson Napier, and David Innes being only the best known among them. In Burroughs' 80-plus novels, their epic adventures transported them to the strange and exotic worlds of Barsoom, Amtor, Pellucidar, Caspak, and Va-nah, as well as the lost civilizations of Earth and even realms Beyond the Farthest Star. Now the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe expands in an all-new series of canonical tales written by today's talented authors! (c) Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
