Summary

Across the vast reaches of space lies Barsoom, a world of adventure, intrigue, and heroism. In The John Carter/Barsoom Collection Volume I, Edgar Rice Burroughs transports readers to Mars, where warriors clash, ancient secrets unfold, and impossible love defies the odds. This volume gathers the first seven thrilling novels of Burroughs’ legendary Barsoom series, following John Carter, an Earth-born warrior who becomes the greatest champion of an alien world.     The saga begins with A Princess of Mars, where John Carter, a Confederate soldier mysteriously transported to Mars, discovers a dying planet locked in endless war. Amid towering Tharks and the noble Red Martians, he fights to protect Dejah Thoris, the princess whose love gives him purpose. The adventure continues in The Gods of Mars, where Carter battles his way through the mysterious Valley Dor and the false gods that enslave Mars. In The Warlord of Mars, his quest for vengeance and justice reaches a stunning climax, cementing his place as the planet’s greatest hero.     The story expands beyond John Carter in Thuvia, Maid of Mars, where the fate of Barsoom rests in the hands of new heroes, navigating treachery, forbidden love, and supernatural forces. In The Chessmen of Mars, the game turns deadly as Tara of Helium is forced to play for her life in a city ruled by living chess pieces. The series takes a sharp turn into psychological intrigue and mind control in The Master Mind of Mars, introducing a rogue Earth scientist with a sinister purpose. A Fighting Man of Mars rounds out this collection with a tale of courage, adventure, and a relentless warrior willing to face impossible odds to rescue the woman he loves.     With its blend of high adventure, romance, and cosmic wonder, The John Carter/Barsoom Collection Volume I stands as one of the great cornerstones of classic science fiction. Edgar Rice Burroughs’ vivid imagination and storytelling genius have inspired generations of writers, filmmakers, and dreamers. Published by Classicus, this definitive volume is a must-read for those who crave pulse-pounding action, epic battles, and the eternal struggle between honor and power in a world unlike any other.
