“Treasure of the Black Falcon” by John Coleman Burroughs. Ballantine U6085 (March 1967). 1st print. Art by Michael Aviano.
From the back cover:
"Deep into the heart of the oceans' unexplored subworlds goes one lonely ship -- a new kind of submarine -- with a handpicked crew bent on solving a 300-year-old riddle.
"But the surging ocean deeps take the powerful ship and hurl it like a toothpick miles deeper than any living man has ever penetrated before: for the ocean hides secrets as unknown as those of deep space. Far below the surface of the Earth's seas the handful of men uncover a wonder and release a terror . . ."
John Coleman Burroughs (1913-1979) was born in Chicago, the son of Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, and of his first wife, Emma Centennia Hulbert. Jack became an author in his own right and a professional artist who went on to illustrate his father's books beginning in 1937.
