  John Carter returns in this, his most thrilling adventure yet! 
  Continuing where The Gods of Mars left off, we see John Carter, desperately seeking to rescue his lost wife; Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium. To this end, he pursues his two adversaries: Matai Shang, father of Therns, and Thurid the Black Dator, across the entire length of a world. From the under the Mountains of Otz in the South Pole, all the way to the frozen North, where, walled in by the Ice Barrier, the cruel and mysterious Yellow Men of Mars hold sway, ruled over by the Tyrannical Jeddak of Jeddaks: Solensus Oll! 
  Join John Carter once more, as he explores the jungle cities of Kaol, the mysterious and booby trapped Tower of the Sun and foul Carrion Caves! 
  The third book in Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series, The Warlord of Mars largely brings to a close the story of John Carter, afterwards concentrating mostly on other characters, such as Thuvia of Ptarth and John Carters son: Carthoris.

  The Dividing

  Adamic is the language of the Gods. When spoken, it has the power to create worlds, to raise the dead, to make man as God. Fortunately, no one has spoken it in thousands of years. The only remnants are the written spells.  
  The people of Cavernum depend on these spells. They’re etched into the city walls, fending off the feeders—deadly creatures with a thirst for human blood. They kill and consume any caught beyond the walls. Yet for the lower class, Cavernum isn’t much safer. Children starve, and illness runs rampant. In an effort to maintain order, all children turning 18 are subject to The Dividing—a city-wide competition for the highest paying guilds. Those who aren’t accepted are sent to the fields, condemned to a life of slave-labor.  
  Princess Roselyn Malik has trained her entire life for The Dividing. She’s guaranteed a spot in the royal orchestra, but equalist rebels threaten her throne. To secure her crown, Rose must acquire the power and prestige associated with the guard. Only guardsmen have access to the amulets—powerful weapons that grant dominion over the elements.  
  Meanwhile, in Colorado, Matt will do anything to help his terminally-ill adoptive mother. For now, that means poaching to pay the bills. Until one day, Matt is attacked by a feeder and plunged into the world of Cavernum. There too, Matt is drawn to the guard, in search of a magic strong enough to save his mother.  
  But danger lurks beyond the walls, and Cavernum won’t be safe for long.

  In this kaleidoscopic voyage through the past, present, and future of the United States, a young girl uncovers a secret society, a middle-aged man searches for his lost first love, a group of teens invent a role-playing game, protests threaten to topple the government, and an eccentric lawyer and his young Vietnamese protégée re-open a dormant case. 
  This atmospheric tale, at turns gothic, poetic, cerebral, and funny, ranges from rural Upstate New York to the far reaches of the Zebulon Galaxy; from the 1700s to the 4th decade of the 21st century. Includes 66 full-page b&w illustrations by the author, maps, an Appendix with a Timeline, and a Reading Group Guide. 
  “One of the most intriguing, beguiling, and thought-provoking books I read this year.” 
  —Diana Spencer, author of Varro’ s Guide to Being Roman 
  “Fabulous and engaging ... richly creative!”   
  —Glenda Burgess, award-winning author of So Long As We ’ re Together 
  In a near-future America, on the eve of revolution, a message pops up on a screen, “Can you help me?”­—then it, and its sender, June, disappear. 
  June’s disappearance prompts a visit back to the narrator’s rural, Upstate New York hometown, and a reconstruction of their shared past in the early 90s, when he and his group of friends created their own roleplaying adventure in a clubhouse on a dilapidating farm. 
  It was June’s entry into their group that made all their game-playing real, and embroiled the teens in a great mystery, starting with the strange, serpent-headed key that flashed gold on custodian Clyde Duane’s copious key ring, and spiraled outward—connecting their town’s hidden past to a movement that could change everything about the way we live. 
  Populated by a fantastic cast of characters, this captivating book stands at the intersection of philosophy and adventure.
