A daring young ship‑builder and aspiring aviator finds his ordinary life shattered when the liner he’s on is struck by a torpedo in the icy waters off Greenland. The chaotic crash thrusts him onto a remote shore, where he discovers a weather‑worn manuscript that hints at a hidden pocket of the world long lost to history. Intrigued and unnerved, he follows the clues, stepping beyond familiar seas into a landscape that feels older than time itself.
The manuscript speaks of a land where ancient seas have receded, leaving towering cliffs, strange vegetation, and the echo of creatures thought extinct. As he ventures inland, he encounters bewildering sights—massive reptiles, bizarre flora, and an atmosphere that seems to pulse with a primeval rhythm. The narrative balances tense survival with the wonder of exploring a world untouched by modern civilization.
Listeners are invited to share his first‑hand awe and dread, experiencing the raw thrill of a man thrust into a forgotten epoch, where every step could reveal another marvel or a new danger.

Best known for creating Tarzan and John Carter, he helped shape modern adventure fiction with fast-moving stories that carried readers from jungle canopies to the surface of Mars. His novels mixed cliffhanger excitement with a huge sense of wonder, and they still influence fantasy and science fiction today.
