David Innes and his captive, a member of the reptilian Mahar master race of the interior world of Pellucidar, return from the surface world in the Iron Mole invented by his friend and companion in adventure Abner Perry.
Emerging in Pellucidar at an unknown location, David frees his captive. He names the place Greenwich and uses the technology he has brought to begin the systematic exploration and mapping of the unknown land while searching for his lost companions, Abner, Ghak, and Dian the Beautiful. He soon encounters and befriends a new ally, Ja the Mezop of the island country of Anoroc; later he finds Abner, from whom he learns that in his absence the human revolt against the Mahars has not been going well. In a parlay with the Mahars David bargains for information of his love Dian and his enemy Hooja the Sly One, which his foes agree to supply in return for the book containing the Great Secret of Mahar reproduction that David stole and hid in the previous novel. David undertakes to recover it, only to find that Hooja has been there before him and claimed Dian as his own reward of the Mahars! - Summary by wikipedia (5 hr 57 min)

The adventure is fun, but the hurried ending shows that Burroughs was tired of the whole thing. Regarding the socialism/communism established in Pellucidar, it seems fitting that this form of government is championed by one who specializes in fantasy and science fiction. The reader was excellent.
Fantastic

I didn't know how well ERB could follow up his first book, but I actually enjoyed this one more. A whole lot of plot packed into one book and a very satisfying ending. As always, excellently read by Mr. Nelson. I will continue to seek out his books.

The reading was excellent. The story - I enjoyed ERB's imagination and could feel the social comments weaving throughout. But I didn't feel i could relate to any of the characters. I loved the opening chapter however, and ERB was clearly a very talented writer.
burroughs is always a fun read
