Michael | 48 comments Announced at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, ERB Inc. has a new idea going forward with new books. The "Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe" line will have a series of new interconnected books designed to expand on Burroughs' original canon and tighten his connections between his various series.

While it looks like the new edition of Fritz Leiber's Tarzan and the Valley of Gold will be the first book to bear the "ERB Universe" branding, four new, interconnected titles have been announced for next year:

1. Carson of Venus: The Edge of All Worlds by Matt Betts
2. Tarzan: Battle for Pellucidar by Win Scott Eckert
3. John Carter of Mars: Gods of the Forgotten by Geary Gravel
4. Victory Harben: Fires of Halos by Christopher Paul Carey

Victory Harben is a new, female protagonist created for this new effort who likely descends from Burroughs' Von Harben family which appeared in the Tarzan series.

The plot for the overall arc is set up thusly:
"When a mysterious force catapults inventors Jason Gridley and Victory Harben from their home in Pellucidar, separating them from each other and flinging them across space and time, they embark on a grand tour of strange, wondrous worlds. As their search for one another leads them to the realms of Amtor, Barsoom, and other worlds even more distant and outlandish, Jason and Victory will meet heroes and heroines of unparalleled courage and ability: Carson Napier, Tarzan, John Carter, and more. With the help of their intrepid allies, Jason and Victory will uncover a plot both insidious and unthinkable—one that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of the universe!"
