During one such expedition, he and his engineer, Abner Perry, become trapped in a subterranean world where the laws of physics are different, and the sun is always in the sky. Here, they encounter a host of prehistoric creatures, including dinosaurs and mammoths, as well as several human societies, each with its own customs and ways of life. Throughout the novel, Innes and Perry face numerous challenges and dangers as they navigate this strange new world. They encounter hostile tribes, treacherous landscapes, and powerful enemies, all while trying to find a way back to the surface. Along the way, they also discover new friends and allies, including the beautiful and fierce princess, Dian of the Mines of Binyai. Burroughs' writing is vivid and engaging, bringing the world of Pellucidar to life in vivid detail.
