Not one of ERB's best. By this time in Burroughs career (late 1930's to early 1940's) he had largely run out of original ideas and had largely begun to parody his earlier work. The first half or so of the book is particularly poor, it's only when he gets to the giant ants and floating islands that the book finally arises from a one star rating. There is some fairly good satire throughout including a surprisingly good opening chapter, before it descends into bathos

As I continue to read the Pellucidar series I am less and less impressed by the story telling in them, but they are enjoyable in an Indiana Jonesy way. The characters are likable if a bit shallow, and the action is interesting even if the resolution relies a bit too much on happenstance.
I have the Ace edition.
