Tanar of Pellucidar. By Edgar Rice Burroughs FULL Audiobook
Here's a detailed summary of "Tanar of Pellucidar" by Edgar Rice Burroughs:
In the thrilling world of Pellucidar, a hidden realm at the Earth's core, adventure awaits. The novel opens with Jason Gridley, a friend of the author, experimenting with a new radio frequency called the Gridley Wave. Through this invention, he intercepts a transmission from scientist Abner Perry, who resides in Pellucidar. Perry and his friend David Innes had previously discovered this prehistoric land inhabited by dinosaurs, saber-tooth tigers, and other ancient creatures.
Pellucidar is not a unified empire but a confederation of tribes. Innes and Perry have attempted to modernize the stone-age natives, but recent events have taken a dark turn. Innes is now held captive in an enemy realm, and Perry urgently transmits a detailed account of the situation. The bulk of the novel is narrated by Tanar, Innes's native comrade in arms.
The trouble began when Innes led an army to aid the tribe of Thuria and the remnants of the former foes, the reptilian Mahars. Both groups were under attack by a previously unknown enemy—the Korsars (corsairs)—who terrorize the internal seas. These Korsars are descendants of Moorish pirates from the outer world who entered Pellucidar centuries ago through a natural polar opening connecting the two worlds.
In their efforts to repel the Korsars, Innes's forces succeed but not without consequences. The raiders capture Tanar, son of Innes's ally Ghak of Sari, hoping to extract the secret of Pellucidar's superior weaponry. Innes and his comrade Ja of Anoroc set out to rescue Tanar, guided by their Korsar prisoner, Fitt.
On the enemy flagship, Tanar faces interrogation by the Korsar leader, the Cid, and his ruthless henchman, Bohar the Bloody. Amidst the chaos, Tanar encounters Stellara, supposedly the Cid's daughter. Stellara tries to intercede on behalf of Tanar and the other captives. However, a storm destroys the ship, leaving Tanar and Stellara adrift on the wreckage.
Stellara reveals her true identity: she is not a Korsar but the daughter of Fedol, her mother's former mate. The Cid had stolen her mother, Allara, from the native island of Amiocap. Stellara bears a birthmark that proves her lineage. As Tanar and Stellara struggle for survival against myriad dangers, their fates intertwine in this captivating tale of courage, loyalty, and adventure.
