description: At The Earth's Core is a science fiction novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The story is set in a fictional world where the Earth is hollow and the interior is inhabited by prehistoric creatures and a race of intelligent beings called the Mahars. The protagonist, David Innes, and his friend, Abner Perry, build a drilling machine and journey to the center of the Earth. They soon find themselves in a dangerous world where they must fight for survival against giant creatures and the oppressive rule of the Mahars. Along the way, they meet a beautiful woman named Dian who becomes their ally in their quest to escape the underground world and return to the surface. The novel is a thrilling adventure that explores the concept of a hollow Earth and the possibility of life existing in its depths.I WAS BORN IN CONNECTICUT ABOUT THIRTY YEARS ago.
