Book Description

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), after a brief service in the US cavalry, persued a business career which was punctuated with intermissions as a gold miner, storekeeper, cowboy in Idaho and a police officer in Salt Lake City. He finally found success as a writer in 1914. His first novel, "Tarzan of the Apes", was an immediate success.

Even though he is famous for his Tarzan series, Burroughs also is well known for his science fiction series such as John Carter of Mars, the Land Time Forgot and other series. Burroughs also wrote a number of less well known individual novels on various topics. Quiet Vision brings you a selection of these novels. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

This review is from: Pellucidar: (#2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Pellucidar is the second novel in the series of the same name by Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1st, 1875 - March 19, 1950). It was published originally as a four-part serial in "All-Story Weekly" from May 8th, 1915 to May 29th, 1915. It is the continuation of the story begun in "At the Earth's Core" which was published in the prior year. Once again David Innes is the hero, and the action picks up where the prior story left off. In the prologue, Burroughs indicates that he has received a letter from someone who has found the lost telegraph wires discussed at the end of the first book, and when he goes to investigate he is able to receive the story which follows in the rest of the book.

The similarities continue between the Pellucidar series and the Barsoom series, and that is not a positive thing, though there are some differences as well, such as David Innes bringing weapons and books from our Earth back with him to this new world. The empire building though, is very similar to John Carter's rise to power on Mars as he earns the trust of many of the natives who swear allegiance to him.

There isn't too much new introduced here, as the focus of this adventure is on Innes' use of his knowledge and that of Abner Perry and the items he returned with to build his empire and overcome those against him. The main foe in this book is Hooja the Sly One, which is no surprise after the first book, and for a good portion of the book Innes chases after his beloved Dian, much the same as John Carter chased Dejah Thoras for the second and third books of the Barsoom series.

Burroughs continues to use the flow of time in Pellucidar as a rather odd device, but it comes across as more of a cheat by the author than anything else. As with his other books, there are some rather amazing coincidences which result in Innes being in the right place at the right time, or the wrong time as it sometimes happens. And Perry's ability to produce so many technological advances in such a primitive society so quickly is perhaps the best example of time flow being used as a cheat.

Once again it is an easy read, and it is mildly entertaining. It probably would have been more entertaining if it had fewer similarities with what Burroughs had already written. As a result, I am only giving this book two stars, as it comes across as too formulaic. While the initial idea of the hollow world is a good one, the series itself so far lacks in much imagination as he seems to be relying on the initial idea and some warmed over ideas from his other series.
