An absorbing tale of adventure and romance forty-three million miles from Earth. John Carter, American, goes to sleep in a mysterious cave in the Arizona desert and when he wakes, he finds himself on Mars. There he meets with a succession of weird and astounding adventures, told in that fascinating and realistic way that makes Burroughs easily the foremost romanticist of his time. Think for a moment of John Carter battling for a beautiful red woman with the Green Men of Mars, creatures fifteen feet high, and of fearsome aspect, with two extra limbs, and you can get some idea of the thrills in the yarn.
