Ambushed in the cold moonlight of an Arizona night, Captain John Carter is inexplicably teleported to Mars, called Barsoom by its inhabitants. Legendary Barsoom—where hostile tribes of towering green warriors roam an arid landscape of dead cities and feuding city-states; where pilgrimages are made to a river of death that conceals a terrifying secret; where lifespans are measured in centuries; and where airships speed through the thinning atmosphere while duels are fought with swords below. Stranded and fighting for his life in a dying, savage world, John Carter embarks on one of the greatest adventures of all time as his destiny and Barsoom’s become one.



The first three books of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s brilliantly conceived Barsoom series—A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, and The Warlord of Mars—are brought together here for the first time. The trilogy follows the saga of John Carter from his unexpected arrival on Barsoom through hair-raising adventures and startling discoveries from pole to pole of the planet.

    So having seen the John Carter movie I really wanted to go back and re-read Princess of Mars. I really loved this series when I first read them about ten years ago and couldn't remember very much that happened and decided I had to go back and read them again. I really did enjoy Princess of Mars lots. Because I'd just seen the film I was spending a lot of time thinking about what was different and what was the same. In the book the war between the humanoid Martians is much less important before the end. I was surprised that Dejah Thoris actually wasn't a fighter as well as scientist and princess and I had remembered her seriously kicking butt. But still she was pretty great. I also loved Sola even more this time around. She was a much stronger character than in the film. I loved that she was the Martian who had experienced love and loss and was more of an actual person than most of the characters in the book. I loved the way that John always knows he's on Mars and never wants to go back. It was very enjoyable to read again.

    Discovering the beginning of fantasy/sci-fi pulp literature now after having been acquainted with its canons is a wonderful process of recognization. Seeing how many tropes this masterpiece of world literature has established is jolly marvelous, and the smoothness of the style, the elegance of the rhetorical figures and choice of words, together with the naiveté this genre had at its beginning is a mix that refreshes the mind after the gloom of the postmodern literature. A must read.
