Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.

2000X: The Moon Maid
In 1923, Burroughs published a romanticized account of the first trip to the moon. This is what really happened! Adapted for audio by Emmett Loverde, with a cast featuring Melissa Greenspan, Richard Kind, David Rasche, Avery Schreiber, Steven Markle, James Otis, Lorna Raver, Stefan Rudnicki, and Tom Towles.

A Princess of Mars
John Carter goes prospecting in Arizona and, when set upon by Indians, is mysteriously transported to Mars. Carter finds that he has demigod-like strength on this planet, due to its lesser gravity. He is soon captured by “Tharks”, the planet’s warlike, four-armed, green inhabitants, and his incredible adventures begin.

At the Earth’s Core
David Innes is a young man who has just inherited a large mining company. On the maiden voyage of the Iron Mole, instead of digging for a few minutes and returning, they plunge straight through the earth’s crust into the ‘inner world’ of Pellucidar. Upon arrival at this strange world, the men are immediately captured and enslaved. But soon Perry learns to read the language of the savage rulers, and discovers a secret way to turn the tables!

Jungle Tales of Tarzan
In this collection of 12 short stories, Burroughs returns to Tarzan’s early years, providing new depth and detail to the Lord of the Jungle during his time among the great apes. Having learned to read from his father’s books, Tarzan seeks to apply his knowledge to the world around him and to learn more about life, death, dreams, God, love, and friendship.

Out of Time’s Abyss
On Caprona, the Land that Time Forgot, all of the world’s savage past still lives. Here are dinosaurs and the last of the Bronze Age barbarians. But there is one more secret that the claws and fangs and sharp-edged spears guard most of all. When Bradley the adventurer dares to cross the last terrible barrier to the heart of Caprona, he enters a world of wonder, terror and danger beyond the imagination of any man.

Pellucidar
In this sequel to At the Earth’s Core, David Innes vows revenge and returns to the Inner World of Pellucidar to rescue the beautiful Dian, who had been torn from his arms by trickery. However, his return trip places him far from the land of his beloved and he is forced to undertake a desperate journey thousands of miles across the fierce inner earth to reach her.

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar
Albert Werper’s plan to kidnap Jane changes when he discovers that Tarzan is bankrupt and must return to the lost city of Opar to bring back more gold. While Tarzan and the spy are in the treasure tomb, an earthquake strikes Tarzan down and blocks the exit. The only way out leads Werper to the sacrificial chamber of the Flaming God, where he soon finds himself the next victim. Tarzan is quick to recover his strength, but not his memory!

Tarzan of the Apes
Born of noble stock to parents marooned on the savage West African coast, the young Lord Greystoke is orphaned in his first year of life. Named Tarzan by the great apes that raise him, he must learn the law of the jungle to survive. He combines higher intelligence, superhuman strength, and his jungle training to become the unconquerable Lord of the Jungle!
