DOWNLOAD EBOOKJohn Carter, a Confederate veteran, finds himself transported to Mars after the Civil War, where he discovers he has extraordinary physical abilities due to the planet's different gravity and atmosphere. Amidst Mars' diverse species and complex politics, Carter becomes a leader among the Tharks, a tribe of fierce green Martians, and embarks on a perilous adventure to save Dejah Thoris, the princess of the red Martians. His quest throws him into the heart of Martian conflicts, pitting him against the predatory Zodanga state, escalating his adventures into a grand battle for peace and justice. A Princess of Mars marks a pivotal point in the evolution of science fiction literature. This novel not only pioneered the planetary romance subgenre - blending elements of fantasy with adventurous swordplay and distant worlds - but also integrated themes from Westerns, setting its narrative on a desolate, dying Mars, as imagined through the once-popular astronomical theories of Percival Lowell. Its profound influence extended beyond literature, inspiring future science fiction legends and scientific minds alike, shaping both the narrative style and the thematic exploration of space and extraterrestrial civilizations in modern sci-fi.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter a ten-year hiatus, John Carter returns to Mars and finds himself in the Valley Dor, a place no one is meant to leave. This is the Martian version of the afterlife. Here, Carter unearths a sophisticated plot masterminded by the Therns, who have used bogus religious promises to trick the other races of Barsoom for millennia. In addition to his ally Tars Tarkas, Carter makes new friends in the Thern princess Phaidor and the slave girl Thuvia. Together, they encounter many dangerous situations, such as fights with the fearsome Black Pirates of Barsoom. The political and social complexity of Burroughs' Martian universe is further explored in this sequel to A Princess of Mars, which also presents the protagonist with new allies and foes as it explores themes of deceit, colonialism, and the pursuit of both individual and societal salvation. Though clearly science fiction, it is recognized for having had a significant impact on the planetary romance subgenre, fusing exotic locales, speculative science, and daring adventure. It differs from space operas in that it places more of an emphasis on surface locations than spacecraft. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Chessmen of Mars centers on Tara, the daughter of John Carter and Dejah Thoris. When a storm carries Tara to a strange region of Mars, she is taken prisoner by the Kaldanes, beings that have a symbiotic relationship with humans. Unknown to Tara, Gahan of Gathol disguises himself and sets out on a dangerous mission to save her, which ends with their capture in the city of Manator. They are thrown into a lethal game of live chess, where the capture of any piece prompts a duel. The fifth installment in the Barsoom series, stands out for its inventive integration of the game of Jetan, a Martian chess variant that vividly incorporates the theme of real-life strategy and combat into the narrative. This game, played with living pieces on a grand board, mirrors the novel's larger conflicts and dramatizes its social and political intrigues. Burroughs' blend of fantastical settings with the intellectual and physical challenges of Jetan provides a distinctive twist that enriches the series' exploration of Martian culture and society.

I must have closed my eyes involuntarily during the transition for when I opened them I was lying flat on my back gazing up into a brilliant, sun-lit sky, while standing a few feet from me and looking down upon me with the most mystified expression was as strange a looking individual as my eyes ever had rested upon.He appeared to be quite an old man, for he was wrinkled and withered beyond description. His limbs were emaciated; his ribs showed distinctly beneath his shrunken hide; his cranium was large and well developed, which, in conjunction with his wasted limbs and torso, lent him the appearance of top heaviness, as though he had a head beyond all proportion to his body, which was, I am sure, really not the case.
