Plot introduction edit
The novel concerns the adventures of Starrett, an aviator who becomes lost in Africa and discovers a lost civilization.
Reception edit
Science Fiction Review critic Darrell Schweitzer wrote, "with very minor changes, The Undying Land would pass perfectly for an obscure novel published in All Story in 1911. He has got the whole routine down perfectly: competently readable prose, wooden characterization, impossible dialogue, wild implausibilities, and even a trace of Age of Imperialism racism."[1] The book was reviewed by Dan Chow in Locus and Don D'Ammassa in Science Fiction Chronicle.[2][3]
