Within the first few chapters, he finds himself lost, captive, and in search of his mate, Dian the Beautiful. David braves a number of perils, from prehistoric creatures, to large, brutish, bearded clans of women, to a race of dark-skinned people.Why it's on the listAlthough Burroughs is mostly known for writing the classic Tarzan of the Apes, This book shows us all just how truly imaginative he was. While the main storyline of the book is getting captured, being separated and then reunited again, the weirdness of the creatures our characters meet, makes this a riveting sci-fi/fantasy to read. You can get lost in the strange fantasy world of Burroughs' imagining. All sci-fi/fantasy devotees should read Burroughs; he was one of the giants who founded the genre.Read if you likeSatire.
