The Land That Time Forgot 1975

As the gentle waves caress the shores of England, a weathered bottle surfaces from the ocean’s depths, its contents ripe for discovery by an unsuspecting sailor. Inside, the scrawled words of Bowen Tyler hold an account that ignites a series of events that will weave through the perilous landscape of World War I, taking its readers to a realm that is both enchanting and savage.

The tale begins aboard a doomed vessel, where Tyler and Lisa Clayton find themselves trapped in a deadly confrontation with the infamous Captain von Schoenvorts and his German U-boat crew. When a torpedo strikes, a frantic struggle for survival ensues, prompting Tyler to rally the surviving British officers to take command of the submarine, which leads to an uneasy alliance with their former adversaries.

As the submarine maneuvers through dangerous waters, a cascade of challenges tests the resolve of its inhabitants. A failed attempt at reaching out for help via radio, complicated by the violent methods of German officer Dietz, leaves the crew stranded and low on fuel in the heart of the South Atlantic. Here, they unexpectedly encounter an uncharted territory known as Caprona—a land flourishing with vibrant foliage, ancient creatures, and primitive human tribes.

Amidst the chaos, Tyler and von Schoenvorts find themselves forming a peculiar partnership in their struggle to survive this mystical island. Their exploration reveals Caprona’s secrets: a locale where evolution is dictated not by natural means, but instead by the migration of its inhabitants. As their submarine becomes operable once more, a sudden onslaught of volcanic eruptions threatens to consume the island whole. In a shocking turn of events, Dietz brutally ousts Captain von Schoenvorts, leaving Tyler and Clayton to face the growing perils alone.

With the U-boat succumbing to the seething waters, claiming the lives of its crew, our two heroes must navigate their fate in this inhospitable landscape. Driven by necessity, they make their way north, ultimately reaching a moment of renewal as Tyler casts the bottle containing his manuscript into the vast ocean, signaling the dawn of yet another chapter in their remarkable saga.
