Mysteriously projected to Mars, Captain John Carter of Virginia finds himself a captive of the savage Tharks, four-armed green Martian warriors roving the dead sea bottoms. Among them he meets one who will change his life forever\u2014the incomparable Dejah Thoris, regal princess of the nation of Helium, captured while on a scientific mission to study the dwindling atmosphere of dying Barsoom. With the steel of his sword and the strength of his earthly muscles, John Carter will stop at nothing to free the woman who has captured his heart, even as she spurns his love. But winning liberty will be only the first challenge for the Earthman when fate throws Dejah Thoris into the clutches of Helium\u2019s greatest enemy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After ten long years stranded on Earth, John Carter returns once again to Barsoom. But this time, he finds himself fighting for his life in the Valley Dor\u2014the presumed Martian paradise that is in reality a violent hellscape, where legions of blood-thirsty Plant Men and four-armed great apes reward with bitter death believers who take the final pilgrimage down the sacred River Iss. Reunited with Tars Tarkas, his loyal green Martian friend, John Carter runs awry into the hands of the Holy Therns, the ancient cult that in secret rules all Barsoom. But even the Therns themselves fall victim to the ruthless pirates of the First Born\u2014and somewhere among these myriad adversaries lies John Carter\u2019s beloved Dejah Thoris, waiting without hope beyond his reach.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Long has John Carter waited for the revolving door of the devious Temple of the Sun to open, not knowing whether his beloved Dejah Thoris lives or has perished upon the other side. But before the door can open, the princess is spirited away by a conspiracy of her husband\u2019s deadliest enemies. The trail leads from the steaming swamps of Kaol and Ptarth to the frigid Carrion Caves lying beyond the ice barrier that fringes the far north. There, in the domed cities of the Yellow Men, John Carter must confront the cruel Jeddak of Okar and solve the mystery of why no outsider has ever returned from the tyrant\u2019s kingdom\u2014or he and Dejah Thoris will meet the same deadly fate themselves.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the first time ever, the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library presents the complete literary works of the Master of Adventure in uniform hardcover editions. Published by the company founded by Mr. Burroughs in 1923, each volume of the Authorized Library is packed with extras and rarities not to be found in any other edition. From cover art and frontispieces by legendary artist Joe Jusko to forewords and afterwords by today\u2019s authorities and luminaries to a treasure trove of bonus materials mined from the company\u2019s extensive archives in Tarzana, California, the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library will take you on a journey of wonder and imagination you will never forget.<\/p>\n The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, 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. 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 Joe Jusko is among today\u2019s most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko\u2019s longtime love of Burroughs\u2019 work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author\u2019s creative vision to life.<\/p>\n See all the books in the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library:<\/strong><\/p>\n BARSOOM SERIES \u00a9 Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
