Eleven new tales set in the legendary worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Most people don’t know it, but the best-selling American writer of the 1920s wasn’t Hemingway or Fitzgerald, but Edgar Rice Burroughs. Everyone knows that he created Tarzan, but he wasn’t limited to that one classic creation. There was John Carter, Warlord of Mars. There was Pellucidar, the wondrous world that exists at the center of the Earth, and Carson of Venus, the Wrong-Way Corrigan of space, who set off for Mars and wound up on Venus for four novels and part of a fifth.
Many top science fiction and fantasy writers of today grew up reading Burroughs, and this anthology is their way of “paying back” and thanking him for stirring their imaginations. Join their celebration with these all new tales set in the astounding worlds that Edgar Rice Burroughs brought to life: giving their own spin on the unforgettable characters conceived by one of the great masters of science fiction, adventure, and fantasy.
Contributors: Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Mercedes Lackey, Richard A. Lupoff, Mike Resnick, Ralph Roberts, Peter David, Kevin J. Anderson, Sarah A. Hoyt, Max Allan Collins, Matthew Clemens, Todd McCaffrey, F. Paul Wilson, and Joe R. Lansdale
