Synopsis

In the year 2137, the Western Hemisphere has sealed itself away from the shattered Old World, guarding peace by forbidding all contact with Europe and Africa. Lieutenant Jefferson Turck, officer of the Pan-American navy, knows the law well—until storm, mutiny, and curiosity drive him beyond the forbidden line. There he finds not the dead wasteland of legend, but a savage, changed continent where empires have fallen, beasts roam ruined capitals, and the descendants of once-great nations struggle for survival. Captured, hunted, and astonished at every turn, Turck journeys through a Europe transformed by war, isolation, and time. In England he meets Victory, a courageous young woman whose name embodies the fierce life still burning among the ruins. Together they face tribal kingdoms, treachery, wild animals, and the brutal forces that have risen where civilization collapsed. The Lost Continent is Edgar Rice Burroughs at his most imaginative: a swift adventure of forbidden exploration, post-apocalyptic wonder, and romantic danger. Written before the modern age of dystopian fiction, it turns the familiar world strange again, asking what remains when history is broken, pride is humbled, and one man must choose between obedience, discovery, and love in a world reborn from catastrophe and fear.
