Sinossi

In "A Princess of Mars," Edgar Rice Burroughs crafts a vivid and imaginative tale that artfully weaves elements of science fiction and adventure. Set against the backdrop of a fantastical Martian landscape, the narrative follows John Carter, a Confederate veteran who finds himself mysteriously transported to Mars. Burroughs employs a vibrant and descriptive prose style, richly populated with exotic creatures, complex societies, and dynamic characters, capturing the reader's imagination through themes of honor, love, and the exploration of the unknown. The novel stands as a significant work within the early 20th-century science fiction canon, paving the way for future interplanetary tales and reflecting the era's burgeoning interest in space exploration. Burroughs, an American author born in 1875, was originally a soldier and later a businessman before discovering his passion for writing. His experiences, combined with a fascination for adventure and the unknown, significantly influenced the creation of John Carter and the Martian world. His inventive spirit was fueled by both the technological advancements of his time and the burgeoning movement of speculative fiction. "A Princess of Mars" is highly recommended for readers who crave an exhilarating blend of adventure and romance set in an extraordinary world. Burroughs delivers an archetypal hero's journey that not only entertains but also invites readers to ponder larger themes of cultural clash and identity. Dive into this foundational work of science fiction and experience the thrill of an unforgettable Martian adventure.

Robert J. Szmidt

When the ruthless aliens attack the outer reaches of the Federation, Humankind is forced to retreat haphazardly from dozens of conquered systems. The only chance to delay the advance of the enemy is to create hundreds of fake colonies.

Their goal is to preserve power, even at the cost of billions of lives. The headquarters of the third metasector must meet the requirements of the Council on the one hand, and prevent the destruction of the only force that is able to defend Humankind on the other. But this war has another—human and personal—dimension: Major Darski must fight to save the colonists that he left on Ulietta…. Edge of Extinction is book three in The Fields of Long-Forgotten Battles series.
