The West, now known as Pan-America, under a single government, had closed it ocean's borders at 30 degree W and 175 degree W. Between those was peace, beyond was unknown and it was the death penalty to cross over them. Through treachery of one of his officers, Commander Jefferson Turck and three of his comrades were left adrift beyond 30. What adventures awaited them in Great Britain and Continental Europe? NOTE: "Beyond Thirty" was first published in All Around Magazine for February 1916. It next appeared as a 2-part serial in the Boston Daily Globe on January 13 and 20, 1929.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan. He was a pioneer of the adventure genre, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. Burroughs's work often explored themes of heroism, the struggle between civilization and nature, and the complexities of human relationships. His most famous series, starting with Tarzan of the Apes (1912), introduced readers to a wild, heroic figure raised in the jungle. Burroughs also created the Barsoom series, featuring the adventures of John Carter on Mars, which became highly influential in the sci-fi genre. Throughout his prolific career, Burroughs wrote more than 70 novels and numerous short stories, captivating audiences with his imaginative storytelling and vivid characters. Despite facing criticism for his writing style, his work has endured, inspiring countless adaptations in film, television, and comics. Today, he is regarded as one of the foundational figures in early 20th-century popular literature.
