The Caspak Trilogy is a series of books written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of the Tarzan adventures. Edgar Rice Burroughs has written books with prehistoric animals before, like in his Pellucidar series, but this is a trilogy that goes for a lost world angle.
The first book in the series is The Land That Time Forgot. During World War I, a German U-Boat sinks an American ship, and a man named Bowen J. Tyler finds himself with a woman named Lys La Rue and his dog, Nobs. They are rescued...more

The Caspak trilogy, comprising The Land that Time Forgot, The People that Time Forgot, and Out of Time's Abyss, is classic Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure. The three stories trace the adventures of three typical Burroughs heroes (two Americans and an Englishman, all three wondrously brave man's men who get tongue-tied around pretty women) in the land of Caspak, a Lost World teeming with primordial life.

One day a bright yellow copy of this book, with the poster from the AIP release of Amicus's motion picture based on it, came across the circulation desk at work. Naturally I had to check the book out and read it. I was shocked that a 3-book series fit on under 300 pages until I found out that the 3 "novels" were originally published in serial format, all in the same year. So it's really less a "novel" than 3 reasonably short novellas. This was my first Edgar Rice Bu...more
A little bit antiquated, but really cinematically written. The first time I read this book I was about 8 years old, and I read it from my mother's crumbling second-printing copy, now a family heirloom. The perfect way to read such a story!
Way too obviously eugenicist. Not politically correct.
It's hard to find the editions I've read of ERB's books here, I've got a lot of old editions inherited from my father. This one is a good way to review a short series...I liked this series, but when you read his books you always must keep in mind the time period he's writing in.
I think I've now read all of Edgar Rice Burroughs. What a wondrous and fantastical imagination he had - and he gave the same to his characters, who seem doomed every few pages but then leap free to the next crisis. Easy, fun reading.
