The Gilak's Guide to Pellucidar

The 7-book Pellucidar series was written by the master storyteller, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Those books told the story of David Innes and Abner Perry's adventures in the savage land at the Earth's core. This new book by David Critchfield is the one and only guide to Pellucidar. It's full of information about the Earth's core: articles, maps, book summaries, family trees, languages, beliefs, publishing histories, a glossary of terms, and a list of articles written about Pellucidar. It's a must for fans of the series and a handy reference for Burroughs scholars and artists. The book is illustrated by Harry Roland with all new Pellucidar art.

David Critchfield teaches Nuclear Control Room Operations at North Anna Power Station in Mineral, Virginia. As well as being a fan of the books, movies, and comics of Edgar Rice Burroughs (and a Mucker Jeopardy champion), he is a juggler. David and his partner, John Jones, hold seven world records in bounce passing, and are nine-time International Jugglers' Association Numbers Champions. They are the only juggling team in history to pass sixteen objects between them. David has been married to his wife, Teresa, for twenty-six years. They have two children and far more cats than is normal.
