In the Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series, today\u2019s authors innovate and expand upon Burroughs\u2019 classic tales of wonder in truly wild<\/em> fashion, even moving his characters and storylines outside the bounds of canon to alternate universes! For more than a century readers have been entranced by Edgar Rice Burroughs\u2019 arid red planet of Barsoom, with its valiant city states and hordes of four-armed green Martians inhabiting the dead sea bottoms, all pitted against one another in a deadly fight for survival. But what was ancient Barsoom like in its prime, before the oceans evaporated and its proud peoples were forced to construct an atmosphere factory to keep themselves alive on a dying world? And how did it get that way? Find out the answers in Dark Tides of Mars: A Novel of Barsoom<\/em> by Chris L Adams, the newest volume in the Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series!<\/p>\n

The Fate of All Barsoom<\/h2>\n

Barsoom is dying, its atmosphere thinning with each passing year, the seas that once flourished upon its surface dried up eons ago. When warrior-scientist Dat Voga is asked to become Helium\u2019s ambassador to distant cities that may provide a desperate chance at life for the people of Barsoom, he leaps at the opportunity. But even as this new hope dangles on a thread, a madman seeks to hasten the Red Planet\u2019s doom\u2014and Dat Voga is hurled headlong upon an odyssey across the chasm of Time itself!<\/em><\/p>\n

About Chris L Adams (Author)<\/h3>\n

Chris spent years playing guitar in various bands and during that time was more of a voracious reader than a writer. After his last band collapsed, he turned from writing songs to writing stories, including Dark Tides of Mars<\/em> and its forthcoming sequel.<\/p>\n

In addition to writing, Chris also dabbles in painting; the cover art for his latest novel, A Savage from Atlantis<\/em>, was created from one of his paintings. More information about Chris and his works can be found on his website<\/a>, including links, a list of available stories, and other items of interest.<\/p>\n

Chris resides in Southern West Virginia with his wife and daughter.<\/p>\n

About Edgar Rice Burroughs<\/h3>\n

The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes\u2122 and John Carter of Mars\u00ae, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world\u2019s most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations Beyond the Farthest Star\u2122. Mr. Burroughs\u2019 books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.<\/p>\n
