Seizes his last chance at salvaging his life is transported millions of years into the past to a Mars peopled with beautiful women, mighty warriors, fearsome beasts, and awesome magics.

Which in actuality is the princess's beloved pet.
From there Morgan becomes entangled in the politics of the Byzantine Martian royal court, spurns the advances of a would-be lover, escapes his hosts and role as an expendable political pawn. Various adventures follow, with dazzling swordplay, feats of strength, and other trials, tribulations and treacheries.

Kline, Otis Adelbert: - Otis Adelbert Kline (1891-1946) was an American writer and literary agent best known for his contributions to early planetary romance and adventure fiction. Writing during the pulp era, Kline produced a series of interplanetary tales set on Mars and Venus that combined swashbuckling action with exotic landscapes and heroic quests.Often compared with contemporaries such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Kline developed his own brand of high-energy speculative adventure, marked by daring protagonists, alien civilizations, and richly imagined worlds. His novels, including The Swordsman of Mars and The Outlaws of Mars, helped shape the conventions of early space fantasy and planetary exploration narratives.In addition to his fiction, Kline worked as a literary agent representing numerous pulp-era writers. Though less widely known today than some of his peers, his work remains a vivid example of the imaginative ambition and storytelling momentum that defined early twentieth-century science fiction.
