In this third installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Barsoom” series, “The Warlord of Mars”, we follow the extraterrestrial adventures of John Carter, an American Civil War veteran transplanted to Mars. The “Barsoom” series began as a four-part serial in “All-Story Magazine” between December 1913 through March 1914. That first story, “A Princess of Mars”, was wildly popular and resulted in numerous sequels. In the series John Carter’s encounters with Martian royalty, fantastic creatures, ancient alien races, and formidable monsters in a dangerous foreign world are chronicled. Lovers of the science fiction genre will enjoy the strange and exciting details woven intricately throughout “The Warlord of Mars”, which begins where the previous novel, “The Gods of Mars”, abruptly left off. Here we find John Carter attempting to free his beloved wife, the princess Dejah Thoris, from the slowly rotating prison in the Temple of the Sun. The exciting adventures of John Carter continue in this thrilling installment of Burroughs’ “Barsoom” series. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
