DIAN OF THE LOST LAND
A Photographic Reproduction of the Interior of the First Edition

How Adam Weismann unwillingly turned from medical research to the exploration of an unknown Antarctic land is dramatically told in Edison Marshall's latest novel.

In his zeal for further knowledge of the obscure semi-tropical disease he is studying this young American doctor is lured from his water-front laboratory to a ship commanded by the famous anthropologist, Professor Karl Belgrade. There follows a hazardous voyage which is only brought to a successful terminaqtion by Adam's knowledge and resource. His secret dislike of the cold-blooded scientist flares into open revolt when he finds that the magnificent tribespeople living in this primitive Lost Land are to be exploited for the personal glory of Professor Belgrade. Adam's feelings of responsibility for these blond giants and his growing love for their rarely beautiful queen, Dian, come to a dramatic climax with the arrival of a hostile tribe. This is his last chance of returning to the civilization and career he knows and Mr. Marshall describes with true insight and sympathy the conflicting desires of this warm-hearted young American. He must sacrifice some part of himself whichever choice he makes but he will remain an idealist to the end.

Edison Marshall paints the strange lure of Antarctica which Commander Byrd felt before his present voyage when he said, "In some Antarctiv valley, perhspas shut in by towering mountains, a thrilling discovery may await us."

DIAN OF THE LOST LAND
Adam knew that the creatures who surrounded him had vanished from the earth five million years ago. Their beautiful art, their terrible weaponry, their religion, customs and language, even the animals they hunted and the alien dark tribe against whom they waged eternal war, all belonged to a time before the great glaciers had retreated and man had assumed control of the globe. But Adam was in no position to deny their reality. For now he and his companion, the renowned Professor Karl Belgrade, were being led to their ruler--the young and beautiful Queen who would decide whether the intruders would live or die.
