Lost in a savage Jungle...
Sent off course by a faulty compass German pilot Lieutenant Erik von Mendelsöhn sets his plane down in the treetops of an African jungle after running out of fuel.
Having survived the terrific crash he is now forced to endure the terrors of a primitive world with no idea where lay the lines of the friendly forces he was attempting to reach.
Soon, however, Erik discovers there to be forces at work infinitely more dangerous than the jungle wildlife with which he has contended since abandoning his wrecked plane when he stumbles on a mysterious, prehistoric city buried in a valley governed by the time-warp of a distant star – a star whose grim, gray inhabitants would make of him a thrall!
A short story inspired by pulp authors Edgar Rice Burroughs, H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.
