5.0 out of 5 stars
Great, old-fashioned adventure story!
This book is enormous fun for those with the imagination to accept the premise. You'll enjoy seeing real heroes and heroines confront the hideous denizens of the inner(and outer)Earth. Lupoff is a fine novelist, as evidenced by this book's wonderful sequel, "Countersolar," as well as works such as "Lovecraft's Book."

Along the way, they encounter monsters and lost civilizations. This story is intended to be a grand, old-school adventure romp,...

This review is from: Circumpolar (Paperback)
On an alternate Earth that is shaped like a torus rather than a sphere, Charles Lindberg, Amelia Earhart, and Howard Hughes race against a team led by the Red Baron himself to be the first to travel completely across the planet's unknown side. Along the way, they encounter monsters and lost civilizations. This story is intended to be a grand, old-school adventure romp, and it succeeds intermittently, but the action often becomes confused, many of the situations are stock, and there isn't enough direct interaction between the rivals. The early parts of the story are the best.
