After he finds a big gold vein and is pursued by Apaches, he escapes by hiding in a sacred cave that transports him to a desolated, barren place that turns out to be Mars!

Thanks to the lower gravity and atmospheric pressure, Carter now possesses almost superhuman abilities. These in turn earn him the favor of the Martian inhabitants. Soon, they involve him in the political affairs of the planet. How will the war veteran Carter fare? Will he ever go back to the Earth or will he have to carve a life for himself on Mars?

About the Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.
