Edgar Rice Burroughs
Ex-Confederate Army captain John Carter finds himself suddenly and unwittingly transported to Mars while fleeing Apache Indians. This new world is populated by a race of monstrous Martians whose culture is based on the ability to fight for their race. Captured by the savage green men of Thark, John discovers that the gravitational difference between Mars and Earth has endowed him with the strength that he will need for survival on this hostile planet. He battles ferocious Martian creatures and gains the respect and friendship of the Barsoomians. Along the way he encounters the beautiful Dejah Thoris Princess of Helium, and earns her everlasting devotion.

"Again, Burroughs doesn't let me down. This was a fun and entertaining story. Obviously, there are too many facts we know these days to make this anywhere near feasible, but it's still a great story. Burroughs had a fantastic imagination."

"I loved, loved, loved this book. I can't emphasize that enough! I have never read Tarzan of the Apes but I am so glad that I picked this up. After hearing about the movie John Carter, I heard it was based off the book by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was amazing! I loved John Carter, Woola, Tars Tarkas, Sola, Dejah Thoras and all of the other characters. The characters were engaging and entertaining. I was a little unsure of the vocabulary used by the author to describe the surroundings and the situations that befell John Carter but after the first couple of chapters, it only enhanced the experience. The world painted by the words of Edgar Rice Burroughs made it possible for me to imagine his world as reality. I was lost in it! If you are a lover of sci-fi/fantasy and have never read this book, this is a must read."
