About this book
Edgar Rice Burroughs delivers a chilling tale of scientific obsession in The Monster Men, a classic science fiction novel that explores the terrifying consequences of unchecked ambition. When a brilliant but morally compromised scientist flees to the remote jungles of Borneo to escape his past, he brings with him a dark secret and dangerous experiments that blur the line between human and beast.
Driven by desperation and guilt, the scientist attempts to create his ultimate work—creatures that challenge everything we understand about humanity itself. His isolated compound becomes a nightmare laboratory where his creations begin to develop their own consciousness and desires, forcing both creator and creation to confront profound questions about identity, morality, and survival. As his beautiful daughter arrives, seeking answers about her father's mysterious withdrawal from society, she becomes entangled in a web of betrayal, danger, and shocking revelations.
Burroughs masterfully weaves together themes of scientific ethics, colonialism, and the primal nature lurking beneath civilized society. The narrative races between moments of psychological tension and explosive action, set against the exotic backdrop of untamed Borneo. This audiobook captivates listeners fascinated by early science fiction, mad scientist narratives, or classic adventure literature that questions the boundaries of science and morality. Experience Burroughs at his most imaginative and unsettling.
