Adventure never takes a back seat to the tediums of the real world, as both exist side by side in this novel. I won't spoil anything, but the title makes it pretty clear the story takes place in Pellucidar, the famed Hollow-Earth setting Tarzan has visited in the past, a world filled with alternate-evolution animals and sentients, and a landscape that has yet to be fully explored and charted. Fortunately for those of us who read books, authors like Win Scott Eckert and Mike Wolfer are still at it, creating new stories that fit seamlessly into the rich mythology Edgar Rice Burroughs created, and keeping the character interesting without losing what makes him unique. My title may be be a little misleading, since Tarzan doesn't need to return he never left! The character has fallen out of pop-culture relevance lately though, and I doubt many people under 20 know him from anything beyond the Disney animated movie.
