A pulpy, earnest adventure into a fantastical subterranean world populated by bizarre creatures and dangers, driven by discovery and survival rather than depth.

A huge burrowing machine tunnels out of control at ferocious speed, cutting clean through to the center of the earth, to the twilight world of pellucidar. Once there, Dr. Perry and David Innes are threatened by half human creatures, lizard-like birds, and man-eating plants.
