What the Story is About: The third book in Burroughs’ Caspak trilogy, it continues the story of The Land That Time Forgot and The People That Time Forgot, in which WW I-era men are trapped on a South Seas island teeming with prehistoric fauna. “It connects the previous two installments, bringing in characters introduced in each. Burroughs completes the revelation of his lost world’s unique biological system, only hinted at in the previous installment, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system forms a thematic element serving to unite the three otherwise rather loosely linked Caspak stories.” (from Wikipedia)
