I love Burroughs books, but I have to take them in doses as the plot does tend to repeat itself. I enjoyed this trilogy, but I think it will be awhile before I pick up another one of his books - just need to give it a break for a bit.

Classic Edgar Rice Burroughs Caspak Trilogy which were the source for two cult classic AMICUS movies from the 70s which starred Doug McClure and included some rather dodgy special effects.
The first story covers the initial discover of a lost island of dinosaurs and primitive tribes ("The Land That Time Forgot") by a mixed group of WW1 German U-Boat crew and survivors from a torpedoed allied ship. The second part covers the further adventures of characters from the initial story and a subsequent rescue party, with the final tale concluding the adventures and including a rather bizarre outline of the evolutionary process of Caspak and its various lifeforms.
Although these stories are not the best written fantasy tales of the period (see Wells, Verne & Conan-Doyle), they are great fun and full of wild imagination and imagery, much of which is still influential today in both books and films. ( )
