In this tale, set in the twenty-second century, the nations of North and South America have entirely cut themselves off from contact with Europe, Africa, and Asia following a terrifying global war, drawing a line at 30 degrees East in the Atlantic and 175 degrees West in the Pacific-a barrier that no soul may cross without suffering the utmost punishment and disgrace. No citizen of the futuristic Pan-American Federation knows the fate of the rest of the world in the intervening two hundred years since it was isolated from the Western Hemisphere. But when an accident causes the aero-submarine \u003cem\u003eColdwater\u003c\/em\u003e to inadvertently pass beyond the dreaded thirtieth degree to the European continent, its captain and crew find a post-apocalyptic landscape devoid of all signs of civilization, populated by warlike tribes and ferocious wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond Thirty\u003c\/em\u003e was first published in the February 1916 issue of \u003cem\u003eAll Around Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, and was later retitled \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Continent\u003c\/em\u003e when published in paperback by Ace Books in 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what has remained unknown until now is that more than 4,000 words, including lengthy passages of text, were excised from Edgar Rice Burroughs' original hand-corrected typescript by the pulp magazine editor-words that have been absent from every edition since the novel's first publication. Now \u003cem\u003eBeyond Thirty: Restored Edition\u003c\/em\u003e corrects this egregious error with its historic release, including a new foreword by editor Christopher Paul Carey discussing the context in which the novel was written, Burroughs' plans for a film adaptation of the tale, and the significance of restored material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe year is 2137. Two hundred years ago, a horrendous war raged across the globe, so dreadful the Americas isolated themselves from their enemies in the Old World. They decreed that none should ever again pass beyond thirty degrees East-upon pain of court martial, ignominy, and even death. But when the aero-submarine \u003c\/em\u003eColdwater\u003cem\u003e suffers a catastrophic loss of its buoyancy generators and drifts into the forbidden zone, Lieutenant Jefferson Turck finds himself abandoned on the shores of Old Europe. There he discovers Great Britain has been blasted back to the Stone Age, with warring tribes evading the lions that roam wild amid the ruins of battle-ravaged London. But the spirit of the lost continent's glory days survives in Victory, the dethroned Queen of England, and only Jefferson Turck stands in the way of the savage world that conspires against her.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis special Restored Edition compilation of \u003cem\u003eBeyond Thirty\u003c\/em\u003e and all other new material therein copyright 2026 Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
