About
The year is 2137. For two centuries, the Western Hemisphere has lived in complete isolation-protected by a law forbidding anyone from crossing the thirtieth meridian.
Lieutenant Jefferson Turck, an officer in the navy of the Pan-American Federation, has spent his life believing that Europe no longer matters. After generations of war, disease, and political collapse, the Eastern Hemisphere has been abandoned to history.
Then a mechanical failure sends Turck's aero-submarine across the forbidden boundary.
Stranded far beyond the limits of the civilized world, Turck and his companions discover that Europe has not vanished. It has descended into a brutal wilderness where the ruins of once-great cities stand beside primitive kingdoms, dangerous beasts, and warring factions struggling for control.
As Turck journeys deeper into the lost continent, he encounters captivity, rebellion, unexpected allies, and Victory-a courageous young woman whose identity may connect her to Europe's forgotten past. To survive and find a way home, he must navigate a world shaped by centuries of violence while questioning the isolationist beliefs he once accepted without doubt.
Originally published as *Beyond Thirty*, Edgar Rice Burroughs's *The Lost Continent* combines post-apocalyptic science fiction, lost-world adventure, futuristic technology, romance, and pulp-era action in a startling vision of civilization after global war.
This historical work reflects some of the language, assumptions, and social attitudes of the era in which it was written.
