At the Earth's Core (ERB in Modern English, Vol. 7)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

     In the first place, please bear in mind that I do not expect you to believe this story. Nor could you wonder if you had witnessed a recent experience of mine when, in the armor of blissful and stupendous ignorance, I gaily narrated the gist of it to a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society on the occasion of my last trip to London.

     You would surely have thought that I had been detected in no less a heinous crime than the purloining of the Crown Jewels from the Tower or putting poison in the coffee of His Majesty the King.

     The erudite gentleman in whom I confided congealed before I was halfway through!—it is all that saved him from exploding—and my dreams of an Honorary Fellowship, gold medals, and a niche in the Hall of Fame faded into the thin, cold air of his arctic atmosphere.

     But I believe the story, and so would you, and so would the learned Fellow of the Royal Geological Society, had you—and he—heard it from the lips of the man who told it to me. Had you seen, as I did, the fire of truth in those gray eyes; had you felt the ring of sincerity in that quiet voice; had you realized the pathos of it all—you, too, would believe. You would not have needed the final ocular proof that I had—the weird rhamphorhynchus-like creature he had brought back from the inner world.

After the dead sea bottoms of Mars and the lush jungles of Africa, Edgar Rice Burroughs takes his latest heroes—the devout scientist and inventor Abner Perry and mining heir David Innes—to the center of the Earth to explore the timeless primeval world they find there and fight against the sapient pterosaurs that tyrannize it! With the language updated to modern English, and a timeline of ERB's shared universe. Seventh in the series ERB in Modern English.

Note: This digital edition includes PDF, ePub, AZW3, and Mobi (Kindle) versions of the book.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
