Warlord of Mars (version 3)

Book cover
By: (1875-1950)

In "Warlord of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, readers are transported to a fantastical world filled with adventure, romance, and fierce battles. The story follows John Carter, a former Earthman who finds himself on the mysterious planet of Barsoom, known to us as Mars. As he navigates this foreign land, Carter becomes entangled in a complex web of political intrigue and power struggles, ultimately rising to the ranks of Warlord.

Burroughs' vivid imagination and descriptive writing bring the world of Barsoom to life, allowing readers to immerse themselves in a rich and vibrant universe. The action-packed plot keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, as Carter fights against formidable foes and navigates treacherous landscapes.

While the story may seem dated in terms of its portrayal of gender roles and cultural stereotypes, it is important to remember the historical context in which it was written. Despite these flaws, "Warlord of Mars" remains a classic of science fiction literature, captivating readers with its thrilling blend of adventure and romance.

Overall, "Warlord of Mars" is a gripping tale that will appeal to fans of science fiction and fantasy alike. Burroughs' imaginative storytelling and larger-than-life characters make this book a must-read for anyone seeking an exhilarating and immersive reading experience.

Book Description:
After the horrendous battle at the end of the previous book, which ended with the destruction of the religion of Issus, John Carter's wife and two other women were locked in a slowly rotating prison attached to the Temple of the Sun, each of whose hundreds of cells are only open to the outside world once every year. In the meantime, Carter's friend Xodar has become the new Jeddak (chief or king) of the black Martian First Born, and those white Martian therns who reject the old religion likewise gain a new unnamed leader, but there are still some who wish to keep the old discredited religion going, including the therns' erstwhite leader, the Holy Hekkador Matai Shang. John Carter discovers that a First Born named Thurid knows the secret of the Temple of the Sun and he and Matai Shang want to rescue the Holy Thern's daughter Phaidor, who has been imprisoned with Dejah Thoris and another Barsoomian princess, Thuvia of Ptarth, in the Temple jail for several hundred days. Unfortunately, Thurid, to spite Carter, gets Matai Shang to also take Dejah Thoris and Thuvia along with them. Carter follows them in the hope of liberating his beloved wife.

Another great SiFi book by ERB. Long John Carter of Barsoom and Princess Dejah Thoris. I read this series many many years ago and just happened upon them a few months ago. Thanks Loyal Books for hosting them and many other audio books.

I was sad when the last chapter was read by someone else after listening to him for 3 full books. This book is good and continues in the same fighting sense as the others. Good ending. Now onto book 4.

I had to continue in the series to find out what happens. I can't say I was disappointed and glad to finally get to the ending that didn't leave me dying to know what came next. If you loved the first two books in the series this one is a must. You won't be sorry.
