FNH Audio presents an unabridged reading of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale of exploration and adventure in a hidden land of cavemen and dinosaurs.

On a ship that's torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1916 our hero, Bowen, soon finds himself locked in hand-to-hand combat with the German crew. Then follows an armed standoff with the prisoners and a hidden saboteur that sends the submarine far off course until it becomes entirely lost. Only when the food and water have run out does a strange land come into sight.

I agree with Mike Ashley who wrote in the Introduction to my edition, “It is just as exciting and enjoyable to read now as it was nearly a hundred years ago.” I seem to recall that Burroughs’s “Tarzan” books that I read had a significant amount of cursing and swearing, but aside from some common euphemisms and a few veiled profanities, there is no bad language in the Caspak stories. Any kind of fantasy literature requires a certain amount of “suspension of belief,” but for Christians the big “suspension of belief” in The Land that Time Forgot series is the presence of general evolution. True Bible believers reject the theory of evolution, but remember that this is fiction, so just imagine “for the sake of argument” what it might be like if this kind of evolution were true. I have only one other warning. Do not buy the Fall River Press paperback edition. Its “perfect binding” is highly imperfect! My copy came completely apart about half-way through. I do not know if the fact that I was reading it on the back porch in hot, summer-like weather had anything to do with it or not, but it was very annoying, especially having to hold individual pages in place. Otherwise, I enjoyed reading the book.

The Land That Time Forgot (Audible Audio Edition) Edgar Rice Burroughs Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot FNH Audio Books Reviews


This is the classic "Dinosaur Island" tale. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lost World" is about contemporary with this one, written in the WWI period. It precedes the spate of 50s Dinosaur Island movies (such as the 1957 "The Land Unknown"), and of course, "Jurassic Park" by a number of decades. But, instead of the pulp-hero Professor Challenger and his associates, the dinos and cavemen are confronted by survivors of a torpedoed Allied ship, and of the German U-boat that sank them... and later by a rescue expedition organized to find and bring back those survivors. By today's more finicky standards, this would be a "pulp era adventure", with all the conventions that implies, but it is nonetheless high adventure -- Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan, John Carter, and Pellucidar, could really write action scenes! Yes, he does more than a little German-bashing, but remember when these stories were written. (He tried to make up for it, years later, with the likeable German crew of the Zeppelin O-220 in "Tarzan at the Earth's Core"...) This edition not only includes "Land That Time Forgot", but both its sequels -- "The People That Time Forgot" and the somewhat better "Out of Time's Abyss"! (I was a bit surprised to learn in the foreword, that these three tales, though they appeared separately in a magazine, were apparently intended as the three parts of a novel -- a bit like a story arc from B5...) The journey starts off as a submarine story (which, while it doesn't include the later obligatory scene for submarine stories, where the sub dives deeper than it was designed to go, includes lots of intrigue, action, and a couple of takeovers (technically not mutinies) that keep things rolling), but soon develops into a classic "Lost World" tale on an uncharted island full of dinosaurs and cavemen (and Burroughs comes up with an appropriately weird reason why they can coexist), with Our Heroes endangered not only by the natives and local wildlife, but by the egos of the two faction leaders, who should (IMHO) better have set aside their quarrels and worked together here. The second part of the tale covers the adventures of the leader of a rescue team assembled to retrieve the survivors, after their plight is revealed by (literally) a message in a bottle. Marooned in the dino-infested lands of the island, by the crash of his recon plane, the leader of the rescuers must now face the additional matter of rescuing himself. Needless to say, various creatures and natives have other ideas. The third and final book ties everything together, as the protagonists of the first two parts, and the remaining survivors and rescuers, link up, and a really weird foe makes itself known. Fans of Tarzan and John Carter won't be disappointed!
The Land That Time Forgot is a classic by Edgar Rice Burroughs (better known for his Tarzan series). I was familiar with it only through the 1975 movie (it's so bad it is a joy to watch). I recently had the opportunity to listen to the audio book narrated by David Stifel. I had previously heard a book narrated by him which is why I chose this particular version. His narration did not disappoint.

The story takes place during World War I. A ship crossing the ocean is sunk by a German U-boat. The survivors are rescued but the same fate falls on their rescuers by the same U-boat. Events happen that leave the survivors and the Germans fighting for control of the U-Boat. About half the book is devoted to the struggle of each group trying to maintain control of the U-Boat. This back and forth power struggle leaves the U-boat open to sabotage and the group ends up in the south Pacific. It is here that the adventure truly begins.

Despite the compass and the best efforts at navigation, the U-boat is drawn south into freezing waters until they arrive at a land mass surrounded by massive cliffs. Seeking fresh water and food, the U-boat finds a way through the cliffs and discovers a land that is an evolutionary mess. There are life forms from every time period in the earth’s long history.

David Stifel does a very good job of narrating the story. He has no problem with different accents, American, German, Irish, English. His paces of the narration works well with the action in the story. The production values are very good. The sound is clear and the volume is at an equal level throughout.

The Land That Time Forgot is a wonderful adventure story. I enjoyed it enough that I am planning on finding the other two books in the series. If you are looking for a fun rollicking adventure, I recommend this audio book. I especially recommend David Stifel as a narrator as he is has shown himself to be an excellent one.
