Acerca de este título
Out of Time's Abyss is Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1918 novel, the third and final book of the Caspak trilogy that began with At the Earth's Core and continued in The Land That Time Forgot. Where the earlier books carried a whole expedition into the walled island continent, this one isolates a single man inside it.
The man is Bradley, the American officer who led the prize crew of the captured U-33 and who, at the close of the second book, was still unaccounted for somewhere beyond the cliffs of Fort Dinosaur. He is taken in the night by the Wieroo — the winged, white-robed creatures that the Galus of Caspak speak of only in whispers — and carried north over the island to their city, a place of towers and terraces on the northern rim of Caspak, where no Galu has ever gone and returned.
Inside that city Bradley finds two other prisoners: An-Tak, a Galu warrior, and Co-Tan, a Galu girl taken from her people. Between the three of them, and the Wieroo who keep them, the book opens out the last unexplored layer of Caspak: the Wieroo themselves. They are not brutes but a society with a priesthood, a hierarchy, a written language, a breeding system, and a god — Him Who Speaks for Luata — whose will is enforced by the knife. They are, in Burroughs's scheme, what evolution produces at its far end: intelligence without mercy, and wings.
Bradley's problem is therefore not the dinosaurs and the ape-men of the earlier books, but a civilisation that has already decided what he is worth: a specimen, a thing to be kept and used. His alliance with Co-Tan, and the flight they attempt through a country where every tribe is ranked by how far along the upward climb it has got, make up the last movement of the trilogy.
The book closes the Caspak story at its northern edge, and closes Burroughs's long argument about evolution, degeneration and what counts as human — an argument he had been running since The Land That Time Forgot.
