Media Reviews

Before Jurassic Park there were Burroughs's jungles; before Princess Leia there was Jana, the Red Flower of Zoram; before the Dyson sphere there was Pellucidar; and before the Terminator there was Tarzan. --From Sean McMullen's introduction [Burroughs's] stories are still as solid and imaginative as anything being published today. Perhaps, dare we say it, even more so. --Statesman Journal
