WHEN Jason Gridley got in touch with me recently by radio and told me it was The Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-nine on the outer crust, I could scarcely believe him, for it seems scarcely any time at all since Abner Perry and I bored our way through the Earth's crust to the inner world in the great iron mole that Perry had invented for the purpose of prospecting for minerals just beneath the surface of the Earth. It rather floored me to realize that we have been down here in Pellucidar for thirty-six years. | feedboo is Land of Terror Burroughs Edgar Rice Published 1944 Categorie s Fiction Science Fiction Source http 1 About Burroughs Edgar Rice Burroughs September 1 1875 - March 19 1950 was an American author best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan although he also produced works in many genres.

It rather floored me to realize that we have been down here in Pellucidar for thirty-six years. You see in a world where there are no stars and no moon and a stationary sun hangs constantly at zenith there is no way to compute time and so there is no such thing as time. I have come to believe that this is really true because neither Perry nor I show any physical evidence of the passage of time. I was twenty when the iron mole broke through the crust of Pellucidar and I don t look nor feel a great deal older now. When I reminded Perry that he was one hundred and one years old he nearly threw a fit. He said it was perfectly ridiculous and that Jason Gridley must have been hoaxing me then .
