Inhaltsangabe

The Lost Continent, originally titled Beyond Thirty, is a 1916 science fiction novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs . The year is 2137. Two hundred years ago - in our time, more or less -Eurasia fought a war to end all wars, a war that meant, for all intents and purposes, the end of the Old World. The Americas managed to retain their civilization - but only by engaging by the most extreme form or isolationism imaginable for two centuries, now, no American has ventured east of the thirtieth parallel. ""East for the East . . ."" the slogan went, ""The West for the West!"" Until a terrible storm at sea forced American lieutenant Jefferson Turck to disobey the law, seeking safe harbor in England -- where he found that two centuries of isolation have desolated the land. The damaged ship found a Europe that is no longer an enemy - a ruined land that is utterly unable to be an enemy - or a friend.
