Publisher's Synopsis

The People That Time Forgot is a science fiction novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is the second book in the Caspak trilogy, following The Land That Time Forgot. The story follows the adventures of Bowen Tyler, who, after being rescued from the lost continent of Caspak, decides to return to the mysterious island to rescue his friend Lys La Rue. Along the way, he discovers a new tribe of humans, the Alus, who are at war with the other tribes on the island. Bowen must navigate the dangers of the island and the conflicts between the tribes to save his friend and escape the island. The book is full of action, adventure, and suspense, and explores themes of evolution, survival, and the human condition. It is a classic work of science fiction and a must-read for fans of the genre.Caprona has always been considered a more or less mythical land, though it is vouched for by an eminent navigator of the eighteenth century; but Bowen's narrative made it seem very real, however many miles of trackless ocean lay between us and it. Yes, the narrative had us guessing. We were agreed that it was most improbable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
