About this book

In a future where the Western and Eastern hemispheres have been cut off from each other for two centuries, a naval officer accidentally crosses the forbidden line and discovers that Europe has collapsed into savagery, its great cities in ruins and its people reverted to barbarism. Burroughs turns the anxieties of the First World War into a striking post-apocalyptic adventure of exploration and survival in a lost, ruined England. Imaginative and briskly told, The Lost Continent is an early and prescient example of the ruined-civilization tale. From the creator of Tarzan, it offers vivid speculative adventure and a haunting vision of a world undone by war.
