We’ve arrived at the final novel in Edgar Rice Burroughs’s tales of the Inner Earth, the novella collection Savage Pelludicar.
Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Pellucidar Saga: Land of Terror
Here we are. The sixth book in the Pellucidar series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. And it’s not a pretty picture.
Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Pellucidar Saga: Back to the Stone Age

The Top Black Gate Posts in April
The most popular topic at Black Gate last month was the new edition of the classic SF role playing game Traveller from Mongoose Publishing. And the most popular blogger was our roving games reporter M Harold Page, who covered the new edition in two posts that both made the Top Ten. Well done, Mr. Page! (However, we need to talk about those expense reports from that Altairian space bar. What exactly is a “Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster?”) Meanwhile, back here on…
The Top 50 Black Gate Posts in January
Well, this is a little recursive. As I draft the list of Top Ten BG articles last month, I learn that our most posts in January were… Top Ten lists.
