A Foundational Lost World Science Fantasy Classic of Subterranean Civilizations and Ancient Energy Entities

During a scientific expedition to the South Pacific island of Ponape, Dr. Walter Goodwin investigates ancient megalithic ruins. Discovering a glowing portal beneath a subterranean chamber—the Moon Pool—Goodwin and his team enter a vast, hollow world hidden deep beneath the Earth's crust.

Exploring subterranean biomes, the expedition discovers an ancient civilization locked in conflict between the angelic "Shining One" and the predatory "Dweller." To escape back to the surface, the team must navigate subterranean wars and decode advanced ancient energy sciences.

Why You’ll Love This Book

A. Merritt's 1919 masterwork is one of the most influential lost world science fantasy novels ever written, blending pulp adventure with cosmic wonder. Essential reading for fans of Jules Verne, H. Rider Haggard, H.P. Lovecraft, and Edgar Rice Burroughs.
