November 5, 2025 and three years ago on this day in 2022 was the official launch of “Victory Harben: Fires of Halos by Christopher Paul Carey. Edgar Rice Burroughs Incorporated celebrated the day by opening their offices for a tour. The book is available from ERB Inc. Here’s some information from the Edgar Rice Burroughs Incorporated website.
Born in Pellucidar, the world at the Earth’s core, in 1932, Victory Harben is the daughter of Gretchen von Harben and the warrior Nadok of the Voraki tribe. From a young age, Victory studied under Abner Perry and Jason Gridley, from whom she learned a deep love for science. At age eleven, she underwent a life-changing experience when she ran away from home and encountered a Mahar named Tu-al-sa in the subterranean city of Mintra. Victory traveled for the first time to the outer crust soon after, determined to unlock the secrets of advanced mathematics and physics hinted at in the Mahar archives. After graduating with a Master’s degree in theoretical physics, Victory returned to Pellucidar at the behest of Jason Gridley to help solve the mystery of the Gridley Wave’s failure.
The 100-word drabble for today, “Fabric of Space,” is excerpted from a press release by ERB Inc. dated July 25, 2025. The press release has been slightly edited to be exactly 100 words long.
‘When a mysterious force catapults inventors Jason Gridley and Victory Harben from their home in Pellucidar and flinging them across space and time, they embark on a grand tour of strange, wondrous worlds. Their search for one another leads them to the realms of Amtor, Barsoom, and other worlds even more distant and outlandish, Jason and Victory 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 uncover a plot, insidious and unthinkable—one that threatens to tear apart the fabric of the universe!’
