A Princess of Mars

By: Burroughs, Edgar Rice

A Princess of Mars is the first of eleven thrilling novels that comprise Edgar Rice Burroughs' most exciting saga, known as The Martian Series. It's the beginning of an incredible odyssey in which John Carter, a gentleman from Virginia and a Civil War veteran, unexpectedly finds himself on to the red planet, scene of continuing combat among rival tribes. Captured by a band of six-limbed, green-skinned savage giants called Tharks, Carter soon is accorded all the honor of a chieftain after it's discovered that his muscles, accustomed to Earth's greater gravity, now give him a decided advantage in strength. And when his captors take as prisoner Dejah Thoris, the lovely human-looking princess of the city of Helium, Carter must call upon every ounce of strength, courage, and ingenuity to rescue her-before Dejah becomes the slave of the depraved Thark leader, Tal Hajus

A Princess of Barsoom

"I have never told this story, nor shall mortal man see this m-a-n-u-s-c-r-i-p-t until I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average human mind will not believe what it cannot grasp......” Written in 1912, this book is well-written for its time and has intrigued countless generations of readers. I get the feeling that this story is being told over a campfire. Captain Carter is telling the story from memory, like an old man of his adventures here on Earth and on the planet of Barsoom (Mars). There are encounters with many strange creatures, situations, and yes, even a "Princess of Mars.” It is a tale worth reading as he encounters many creatures that are different personas of man, horse, dog, etc. This book, also titled “Under the Moons of Mars,” is a part of a series by the writer that brought us “Tarzan.” The intro to the book alone will capture your imagination.
