Combining otherworldly adventures with elements of classical myth, fast-paced plots with cliffhanging tension, and imaginative fantasy with vivid prose, this trilogy features John Carter who proves himself against deadly foes.
"When it rains in a Burroughs novel, the reader gets wet". (Science-fiction writer Jack McDevitt). Combining otherworldly adventures with elements of classical myth, fast-paced plots with cliffhanging tension, and imaginative fantasy with vivid prose, Edgar Rice Burroughs' "The Martian Tales Trilogy" helped define a new literary genre emerging in the early twentieth century that would become known as science fiction. Hero John Carter proves himself against deadly foes in "The Martian Trilogy". In the first installment, Carter wins the affections of the 'princess of Mars' and the respect of the Martian warlords whom he befriends. The excitement continues in "The Gods of Mars" when Carter engages the Black Pirates in airborne combat above the dead seas of Mars and leads a revolt to free the Martian races from a religion that thrives on living sacrifices. In the third book, "Warlord of Mars", Carter overcomes the forces of evil that would destroy the planet. By the end of the trilogy the Martians all clamor for a triumphant John Carter to be their king.
