By the year 2137 Europe has become a largely forgotten, savage
wilderness. Fierce bands of hunters rove the crumbling ruins of
once mighty, war-ravaged cities. On the other side of the Atlantic
a prosperous Pan-American Federation has emerged, claiming all
lands and seas between the 30th and 175th longitudes and forbidding
contact with the rest of the world. All who cross beyond thirty are
sentenced to death."" "Beyond Thirty" is the story of Captain
Jefferson Turck and the crew of his aero-submarine, who through
accident and sabotage are forced beyond the thirtieth longitude and
embark on an epic quest to rediscover the legendary lands of the
Old World. Their adventures stand as one of Edgar Rice Burroughs's
most imaginative and subtly crafted tales. Burroughs wrote the
story in 1915 in reaction to the growing horrors of the First World
War, and his devastating vision of its consequences provides a
haunting and enduring warning for the twenty-first century.
