The Gods of Mars

This classic tale of high adventure from Edgar Rice Burroughs made him into one of the best pulp fantasy writers of the time. His writing introduced many concepts, techniques and plotting which are still used to this day.

This of course is the story of John Carter's return to Mars in search of "the incomparable" Dejah Thoris and hopefully save her again from "a fate worse than death." John Carter who is the "greatest swordsman on two planets" lands in the wrong place. He ends up in Mars Heaven, so to speak, which is far from that he soon learns. And the adventure begins.
