From the back cover:

"Deep into the heart of the oceans' unexplored subworlds goes one lonely ship -- a new kind of submarine -- with a handpicked crew bent on solving a 300-year-old riddle.

"But the surging ocean deeps take the powerful ship and hurl it like a toothpick miles deeper than any living man has ever penetrated before: for the ocean hides secrets as unknown as those of deep space. Far below the surface of the Earth's seas the handful of men uncover a wonder and release a terror . . ."

John Coleman Burroughs (1913-1979) was born in Chicago, the son of Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, and of his first wife, Emma Centennia Hulbert. Jack became an author in his own right and a professional artist who went on to illustrate his father's books beginning in 1937.

A combination of circumstances and a mishap of war stranded Tarzan in the mountains of Japanese-held Sumatra nearly two and one-half years after the invasion. Here, in company with American fliers, natives, Dutch guerrillas, a Chinese, a Dutch girl, and the granddaughter of a Borneo head-hunter, he found a full scope for his jungle-trained senses.

Sumatra is approximately the size and shape of California. And right there all similarity ends. This island sprawls across the equator. Its great forests, its lush jungles, its mountainous backbone are the abode of such an aggregation of savage life as may not be found in an area of similar size anywhere else in the world.

There are elephants, rhinoceroses. bears, wild dogs, tigers, orangutans, monkeys, wild cattle, cobras, pythons, and Japanese, just to name a few. There are native collaborationists and bands of Dutch outlaws. The stage was already set for high adventure and the other actors were already there when Tarzan arrived.

The close companions who shared these adventures with him were a pilot from Oklahoma City, waist gunners from Brooklyn and Texas, a ball turret gunner from Chicago, a radio man from Van Nuys, California, a Chinese, a Dutch reserve officer, a Eurasian girl, and blonde Corrie Van der Meer, the daughter of a Dutch Sumatran planter. Viewing the diverse racial origins of this aggregation, their friends of the Dutch guerrillas dubbed them "The Foreign Legion."

Deep in the heart of Africa rises a mighty cone-shaped mountain, an extinct volcano, in the huge crater of which lies "The Forbidden City of Ashair" where Atka, the cruel queen, rules: and Brulor, the false god, holds forth in his mysterious temple at the bottom of a great lake of crystal clearness.

To reach this inaccessible stronghold two safaris endure hardships and perils that bring death to some and high adventure to all. Love and hate and jealousy and intrigue play their parts in a battle of wits and endurance where courage and loyalty contend with duplicity, cruelty, superstition, and savagery.

One safari is bent on the rescue of the son of its leader from the clutches of Atka and the false god; the other, headed by a wily and unscrupulous oriental, seeks only The Father of Diamonds guarded by Brulor and his priests and Atka and her plumed warriors. There are hand-to-hand encounters with terrifying marine monsters among the wrecks of ancient galleys at the bottom of the great lake that spreads across the floor of the crater of Tuen-Baka.

“Back to the Stone Age” is the fifth novel in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ series set in the interior world of Pellucidar, a fictional hollow Earth. The story first appeared as a six-part serial in Argosy Weekly from January 9 to February 13, 1937 under the title "Seven Worlds to Conquer." This action adventure tale is populated by saber-toothed tigers, pterodactyls, mammoths (and the men who ride them), native warriors and, in typical Burroughs fashion, unexpected traitors and heroes at every turn. The artwork for the novel was supplied by the author’s son John Coleman Burroughs.

“Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote four westerns over his career. “The Deputy Sheriff of Comanche County” was first published in Thrilling Adventures (March, April, May, 1940) as "The Terrible Tenderfoot." There were two other working titles "That Damn Dude" and "The Brass Heart." Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. published the first book edition in September 1940. The dust jacket and interior illustrations were done by the author's son, John Coleman Burroughs.” [The quote is from a summary by David Bruce Bozarth].
