Synopsis

Written by EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Told by STAN WINIARSKI

"I stood on the Arizona bluff with my attention drawn to the large red star, Mars. I closed my eyes, stretched out my arms and was drawn through the trackless immensity of space. I opened my eyes upon a strange landscape."

Suddenly projected to Mars, John Carter found himself a captive of the savage green men of Thark. With him was Dejah Thoris, lovely Princess of Helium. And between them and rescue, lay a thousand miles of deadly enemies and unknown dangers. Told by Stan Winiarski

About this title

About the Author

The Mars series is thought to be among the first science fiction tales ever written. Anyone can pick up a 75 year old Tarzan or Mars book and find it as fascinating as when it was first published.

Reviews

A Princess Of Mars (1912) is arguably the most influential science fiction novel of the twentieth century. It was the first novel from the man who would create Tarzan of the Apes, and most science fiction novelists and many scientists (notably, Carl Sagan) credit it and Burroughs's gigantic later output for their fascination with space. The novel exudes tremendous energy, even in this abridgment. Winiarski's voice is mature, his characters well distinguished, his pacing more contemplative, in keeping with the narrative tone. As Burroughs's books pass out of copyright, we can expect to see a flood of his titles in audio format. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
