A Princess of Mars
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Princess of Mars is the first of eleven fascinating novels featuring the most interesting epic by Edgar Rice Burroughs, known as the Mars series. This is the beginning of an incredible adventure in which John Carter, a gentleman from Virginia and veteran of the Civil War, suddenly finds himself on the red planet, a scene of constant war between rival tribes. Captured by a group of six-legged, green-skinned savage giants named Tarks, Carter earns all the honor of the chief after it is revealed that Earth's muscles, accustomed to its larger gravity, now give him a decisive advantage in strength. And when her captors take over Deju Toris, the beautiful-looking princess of the city of Helium, Carter must summon all kinds of strength, courage and creativity to save her, before Dege becomes a slave to Tark's intrepid chief, Tal Hajus!
