The novel is the second entry in the three-book Dead Moon Super-Arc, following the first book, Korak at the Earth's Core. It follows the adventures of Korak's grandson, Rahnak, and a Waziri warrior princess, Kyrianji, in the Hollow Earth known as Pellucidar, as they search for Rahnak's mother who disappeared in the vicinity of the mysterious Land of Awful Shadow! The gorgeous wraparound cover artwork is by renowned fantasy artist Daren Bader.
I'm understandably thrilled about my third novel in the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe, and will share pre-ordering information here when it becomes available!
Being a big Tarzan fan, and having read all of his adventures, the original 24 novels, other stories, comic books, and everything else I can get my hands on, I loved this book. Love Korak the Killer. Didn't know it existed, but picked it up as soon as I heard about it. Can't wait for the sequel. Will order it as soon as it is out.
My two Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe novels, as well as two Burroughs books to which I contributed introductions, are all on sale in the Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. webstore for Black Friday!

The Dead Moon Super-Arc Begins...
Korak the Killer, jungle-raised son of Tarzan of the Apes, sets off into the wilds of the prehistoric world at the Earth’s core to rescue his daughter Suzanne Clayton, who has gone missing in the mysterious Land of Awful Shadow. But when the airship O-220 is hijacked, Korak and his Mangani friend Akut are stranded and must fight their way across the perilous lands and seas of Pellucidar. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Korak’s mate Meriem, also racing to save Suzanne, risks everything in a perilous gambit to quickly reach the inner world.
And what of the enigmatic Dead Moon, the pendant world that hangs eternally above the Land of Awful Shadow and is taboo to the Stone Age peoples of Pellucidar? Will the Dead World give up its secrets as Korak and Meriem search for Suzanne—or will it spell their doom?
When citizens on the far frontier of the Federated Kingdoms of Pellucidar begin to go missing, a lone warrior with nothing left to lose sets off to investigate. But the dark secret he finds lying in the Charnel Caves beneath the Forest of Death will lay bare the past he seeks to escape and awaken that for which he could never be prepared.
