Ambushed in the cold moonlight of an Arizona night, Captain John Carter is inexplicably teleported to Mars, called Barsoom by its inhabitants. Legendary Barsoomwhere hostile tribes of towering green warriors roam an arid landscape of dead cities and feuding city-states; where pilgrimages are made to a river of death that conceals a terrifying secret; where lifespans are measured in centuries; and where airships speed through the thinning atmosphere while duels are fought with swords below. Stranded and fighting for his life in a dying, savage world, John Carter embarks on one of the greatest adventures of all time as his destiny and Barsoom's become one. The first three books of Edgar Rice Burroughs's brilliantly conceived Barsoom seriesA Princess of Mars,The Gods of Mars, andThe Warlord of Marsare brought together here for the first time. The trilogy follows the saga of John Carter from his unexpected arrival on Barsoom through hair-raising adventures and startling discoveries from pole to pole of the planet.Burroughs, Edgar Rice is the author of 'Under the Moons of Mars', published 2003 under ISBN 9780803262089 and ISBN 0803262086.
