A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs – Awaken in her world and prepare to fight
Harsh combat rules life on the wasting planet of Barsoom – known as Mars by John Carter of Virginia, who discovers that death on Earth transports him to the bewildering glories of the red planet. Hardened in Civil War battles, John Carter has the heart of a warrior, and the lower gravity of Mars blesses his Earthly physique with superhuman strength and agility. He needs both because he lands among the heartless Tharks, or green men of Mars. Tall, tusked and with four arms, the green men honor physical strength and violence above all else. Their culture lacks love and compassion, which have been shed over countless millennia in favor of motherless and fatherless communal reproduction that tolerates only the strongest young. Although their captive, John Carter swiftly earns a unique status because of his physical superiority and he enjoys a measure of freedom and respect.
While adapting to his rigorous life among the green men, his captors seize a new prize: the lovely Dejah Thoris. She is of a different race and apparently human. She is the proud descendant of the red men of Helium, whose civilization has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and John Carter’s sympathies are instantly attached to her. Knowing now that a race like him exists upon Mars, John Carter desires freedom from the green men and awaits his chance to rescue Dejah Thoris.
The Mars in which John Carter must navigate with his sword, gun, and human compassion is made astoundingly vivid as crafted by the prolific pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Life is so harsh on the red planet because its ability to support life has been slowly fading for hundreds of thousands of years. Old seas are dried up and filled with moss. Ancient cities stand empty upon barren deserts. Only the remnants of the original civilization of the red men persist while their enemies the green men rove nomadically among the ruins fighting over scarce resources. Adventure and love race alongside each other in this fascinating setting that always feels real. Every enthusiast of science fiction and fantasy must read A Princess of Mars.
