Sinopsis

In "The Master Mind of Mars," Edgar Rice Burroughs weaves an intricate tapestry of science fiction and adventure, continuing his beloved Martian series that began with "A Princess of Mars." This novel showcases Burroughs' hallmark style of vivid imagination and striking world-building, where themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the complex interplay of power and morality are scrutinized within a richly developed Martian landscape. The narrative follows the protagonist, Carson Napier, who confronts the formidable antagonist, the Master Mind, against the backdrop of stunning alien civilizations. The fusion of high-stakes intrigue and adventure resonates with contemporary societal themes, drawing parallels to human ambition and the darker aspects of leadership. Edgar Rice Burroughs, an influential figure in early 20th-century science fiction, found inspiration in his experiences and adventures, both real and imagined. His fascination with the unknown, along with his background in pulp fiction, led him to create expansive universes where possibilities are boundless. "The Master Mind of Mars" exemplifies Burroughs' talent for intertwining thrilling narrative arcs with deeper philosophical inquiries, reflecting his understanding of human nature and competence in genre storytelling. Readers seeking an enthralling escape into a richly imagined Martian saga will find "The Master Mind of Mars" a compelling addition to their literary repertoire. Burroughs' masterful blend of action, romance, and existential contemplation makes this novel not only an exciting adventure but also a thought-provoking reflection on the complexities of ambition and intellect. This book invites readers to lose themselves in a vibrant world while contemplating the very nature of power and destiny.

    Hunt the mage. Save the child. Defy the storm. 
     
    Across the ruins of Ferron, the rotstorm ever rages. From its nightmarish depths, demons and goblins and rust-folk have struck forth and claimed the Northern Marches as their sanctuary. Through the Undal Protectorate, the land is gripped in a Claw Winter, a frozen mirror of the punishment laid down to the west. 
     
    Abandoned on the island of Riven, Floré and her comrades must find their way back to the Protectorate. Floré's daughter Marta is hidden somewhere in the north, dying from the skein-magic she cannot yet control. And now, a centuries-old problem threatens to cause new problems for Floré - and it threatens to be the most challenging yet... 
     
    For, after centuries of bondage, the immortal mage Tullen One-Eye - the man they call 'Deathless' - has been unchained, and the great god-wolf Lothal hunts again. To make matters worse, deep in Orubor's Wood, the god-bear Anshuka stirs from her slumber. 
     
    The awakening of three unknown forces spells bad news for Floré and the Ferron. For, the last time the Judges warred, an empire fell. 
     
    If she is to save her daughter and free her people, Floré will have to defeat the great wolf Lothal and kill the 'Deathless' Tullen. But how can she kill the unkillable man? And will steel alone be enough to take down the gods themselves?

    Humans are not exactly a peace loving species. We see danger everywhere. Evolution has equipped those of our ancestors who survived with a very strong sense of fear and the need to always protect ourselves. Those who lacked these sensibilities simply did not last as long or reproduce as well. Thus, everything is a threat to us humans until proven otherwise. And even after proven not to be an immediate threat we are still very suspicious and wary. Mack Reynolds takes this proclivity and gives us a story about the future that is both humorous and frightening because it is so sadly true. Everything, no matter how peaceful looking now, is a potential enemy and thus should be eliminated. No, must be eliminated. Otherwise who knows what will happen, eh?
