Short summary:

The author relates how traveling in the Sahara desert he has encountered a remarkable vehicle and its pilot David Innes a man with a remarkable story to tell. David Innes is a mining heir who finances the experimental "iron mole" an excavating vehicle designed by his elderly inventor friend Abner Perry. In a test run they discover the vehicle cannot be turned and it burrows 500 miles into the Earth's crust emerging into the unknown interior world of Pellucidar. In Burroughs' concept the Earth is a hollow shell with Pellucidar as the internal surface of that shell.
