  • "Burroughs's first tale was "A princess of Mars, opening the floodgates to one of the most successful and prolific literary careers in history. This is a wonderful scientific romance that perhaps can be best described as early science fiction melded with an epic dose of romantic adventure. "A princess of Mars" is the first adventure of John Carter, a Civil War veteran who unexpectedly finds himself transplanted to the planet Mars. Yet this red planet is far more than a dusty, barren place; it's a fantasy world populated with giant green barbarians, beautiful maidens in distress, and weird flora and monstrous fauna the likes of which could only exist in the author's boundless imagination. Although this novel can stand alone, there are a total of 11 volumes in this classic series of otherworldly, swashbuckling adventure."@en

  • "John Carter, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War, searches for gold and finds something he never imagined. When he strikes a rich vein of gold, the local Apaches turn against him. Desperate to escape, Carter hides in a sacred cave and is transported to Mars. On this new world, Carter has great strength and nearly superhuman agility, which make him a valued member of the Tharks, a nomadic tribe of Green Martians. But when the Tharks capture Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Helium, and a member of the humanoid red Martians, Carter begins to question his role on Mars. He is determined to return Dejah Thoris to her people, but in time it becomes clear that Carter must lead a horde of Tharks. With Carter's loyalty tested to its limit, this victory or defeat will determine the fate of Dejah Thoris as well as the whole of Mars itself. The first of Burrough's famous "Mars" novels."@en
  • "The first book in the celebrated series of Martian novels. It sets the pattern for future tales, with its cast of strange beasts and strange peoples, Olympian heroism amidst ever fluctuating fortunes, spectacular swordplay, the pitting of noble sentiment against bloodthirsty malevolence, and all the other thrilling features we expect in Burroughs's tales. Here is Mars, wracked by centuries of warfare, its resources exhausted, the light of civilization fading-a moribund planet of dead seas and arid lands where the struggle for existence is harsh indeed. Here also is John Carter of Earth, whose arrival makes a remarkable impact upon this tottering world."@en
