About this title

From the Publisher:

I began reading this series as part of a college course on science fiction--and was hooked. I was transported--along with John Carter--into an exciting, captivating alien adventure. I liked the way that the spirit of the Old West drives these fast-paced stories, and I was surprised that they were not dated at all.

From the Inside Flap:

After the long exile on Earth, John Carter finally returned to his beloved Mars. But beautiful Dejah Thoris, the woman he loved, had vanished. Now he was trapped in the legendary Eden of Mars -- an Eden from which none ever escaped alive.
