Publisher's Synopsis
The People That Time Forgot is a science fiction novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the adventures of a group of explorers who discover a hidden land called Caspak, located in the Antarctic region. The land is home to prehistoric creatures and primitive human tribes who have been isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years. The protagonist of the story is Bowen Tyler, a young American who was lost in the land of Caspak during an earlier expedition. He is rescued by a group of explorers led by Tom Billings, who are on a mission to find Tyler's missing father. The group faces many challenges as they navigate through the dangerous and unknown terrain of Caspak, including battles with fierce dinosaurs and encounters with hostile tribes.As they explore the land, they discover that Caspak is divided into three distinct regions: the island of Caprona, the land of the Galus, and the land of the Korsars. Each region is home to different creatures and tribes, and the explorers must learn to adapt to survive. The People That Time Forgot is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and action. It is a sequel to Burroughs' earlier novel, The Land That Time Forgot, and is followed by a third book in the series, Out of Time's Abyss.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.
