No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In this hidden world, the startled geologists discover the chalk-faces, albinos who look down on Caucasians as "colored" and who breed their children to die gloriously in a futile war that makes no sense to anyone. There a woman is considered the more beautiful for each additional wrinkle she has on her face and uses cosmetics guaranteed to add more wrinkles. It's a society where takers of official oaths literally eat their words, and a man appearing in public in anything but skirts is considered scandalous! Where the ruler is an overbearing gasbag called His Abysmal Excellency, Thuno Flatum! To survive and return to the surface world, the explorers will have to take over the weirdly inverted society of the chalk-faces, starting at the bottom and working their way up to the most powerful office in the land. Their goal: deposing his Abysmal Excellency, Thuno Flatum and assuming his title for themselves! It's a challenge filled with dangers and potentially fatal missteps in this topsy-turvy civilization. But, you can't keep two clean-cut, all-American 1930s heroes down, not even when they are down under themselves, prisoners in a hidden world! First though, they must escape marriage to the most beautiful, and the most wrinkled, women in the land.
