“The Barsoom Series” by Edgar Rice Burroughs:
“The Princess of Mars” is tale I in a V book collection. It is magnificent and captivating, and it’s apparent from the first chapter that Edgar Rice Burroughs is a genius. This is a wonderful tale to the top with his spectacular thoughts and imagination. Original, epic, and enthralling, I was unable to place it down and am chomping at the bit to read the next four books in the collection. A right master of the sci/fi adventure genre on par with Vance and Wells……
“The Gods of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The hectic, chaotic, frenetic, pace continues as John Carter, his son Carthoris, and Tars Tarkas take on the Issus and the “the blacks” to rescue Dejah Thoris (Princess of Helium). Fantastic battles and unrelenting treachery and deceit continues to fuel the fusilade of destruction on the enemy air fleets. Pulp sci/fi adventure at its best makes this one of the most entertaining tales of all time from the pen of a master storyteller……
“The Warlord of Mars” saga and action continues unabated in the third book in the Barsoom Series and it’s fantastic! Nearly constant conflict confronts John Carter, Prince of Helium, as he fights for the release of his beloved Dejah Thoris. The promising like between their son Carthoris and Thuvia of Ptarth brings joy to both houses. Edge of your seat battles against the Lord of the Thenes, Matai Shang, and his minion Thurid will keep you awake at nights as the Jed’s come collectively and unite under the Jedakk of Jedakaks, the Warlord of Barsoom!……
“Thuvia, Maid of Mars”carries on and expands this epic collection of tales. Book IV of the series shifts the focus away from John Carter to his son Carthoris and Thuvia, the like of his life. Enduring many hardships and death defying battles and contraptions Carthoris rescues Thuvia and receives the blessing from Kulan Tith, her designated husband, to marry her in his stead. Although a bit repetitive with events/confrontations similar to the previous books this is never-the-less a thrilling roller coaster ride that will exhilarate and enthrall you throughout…onward to the V and final book in the collection……
“The Chessmen of Mars” is my least favorite book in “The Barsoom Series.” I loved the pacing and one of the most original and imaginative creature/humanoid/ creations in all of science fiction “Ghek the Kaldane from Bantoom.” Kaldane’s are unquestionably one of the most unusual, unique, creepy, entertaining yet unsettling, beings ever invented by an inditer in the sci/fi genre…a simply wonderful and incredible creature! Once again the tale shifts from Carthoris and Thuvia to the new heroine “Tara, Princess of Helium” and her suitor “”Gahan, Jeddak of Gatholian.” I like this series in spite of its predictability and occasional redundancy. A right classic with A movie in the works!

|Fantastic series!,
Ok, public, these are the books that started everything. Star Wars, Avatar, whatever, all were inspired by these John Carter books. Fantastic collection that works fine (links and text are awesome) on my Kindle and my iPhone.
The way the tale is told, pulls you aptly in. I’m looking forwards to the new movie coming out soon. I’ve been waiting for a John Carter movie forever. From what I have learned, the movie is based on the first tale in this collection of tales. Very awesome. This e-book is a fantastic find.

|John Carter of Mars,
Read these books as a teenager and loved them. They were all to the top with action and, in my case, couldn’t place it down once I started reading it.
