The Gods of Mars

Years after he's been snatched back to the Earth from Mars, John Carter learns how to return to the planet he's yearned for. But Dejah Thoris, the woman he loves, has vanished, leaving him trapped in the legendary Eden of Mars - a paradise from which no one returns. An endearing mixture of Victorian sci-fi and pulp fiction, this is the second swashbuckling story in a long-running series of popular novels set on Mars.


About the Author
Edgar Rice Burroughs' otherworldly pulp fiction earned him fame and, eventually, fortune in early 20th-century America. Best known for creating the cultural icon Tarzan, he also spun tales about more civilized, but equally high-strung, adventurers traveling to lost worlds and nearby planets. Still loved by readers, and movie producers, today, his unique writing style combined the ever-popular adventure, romance, and science-fiction genres.
