I had listened to the first book in this series, At the Earth´s Core (MP3 CD) (Pellucidar), with my 11-year old son and we liked it and decided to follow up with this book, which is the direct sequel. This had the same reader and he used the same characterizations as in the first book, which made for great continuity for me as a listener. I thought his voice was perfect as David Innes.
This book is vintage Edgar Rice Burroughs, with lots of action and adventure. The hero is always getting into difficult situations yet seems to get out of them under almost miraculous circumstances. There is also romance and many interesting characters and creatures. This is clearly not great literature, but is wonderful entertainment that can keep you on the edge of your seat.
As an engineer, sometimes I have a hard time with some of the physics of Pellucidar, but Burroughs does a good enough job to be consistent in his science. I recommend this book as an entertaining sequel to the first volume. A great listen for a road trip with the younger boys in your family.. And summed up by saying Fun audio book. Currently Pellucidar (Bison Frontiers of Imagination) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Jack McDevitt claimed In this sequel to At the Earth´s Core, return to the world of Pellucidar—an exotic, savage land at the center of the Earth, an untamed wilderness where the sun never sets. When American explorer David Innes first discovered Pellucidar, he fell under the spell of the strange world, earning the respect of many, the undying hatred of a few, and the love of the beautiful Dian. Torn from her arms by trickery, Innes vows revenge and returns to the Inner World to seek his lost love. Innes breaks through the earth´s outer crust, far from his beloved, and is forced to cross a fierce, unyielding world to reach her. Innes´s epic journey through the many strange lands of Pellucidar, including the Land of Awful Shadow, which lies beneath the brilliantly conceived pendant moon, and his heart-pounding encounters with prehistoric beasts and strange peoples makes Pellucidar one of Edgar Rice Burroughs´s most rousing adventures.
