What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"[Burroughs] has created a novel that speaks to the sensibilities and tastes of a modern audience." —-SF Site

Editorial Reviews

Might it really be possible—in fact and not in fancy—to venture with John Carter to the Kingdom of Helium on the planet Mars?”

Carl Sagan

Pure escapist fantasy/romance, Burroughs was ahead of his time…William Dufris keeps the action steady from beginning to end. Good family listening.”

SoundCommentary.com

When it rains in a Burroughs novel, the reader gets wet.”

Nebula and Philip K. Dick Award–winning auth Jack McDevitt

Might it really be possible—in fact and not fancy—to venture with John Carter to the Kingdom of Helium on the planet Mars? (Carl Sagan)

From the Publisher

A century after its serial publication in a magazine, this book has found new popularity with the film JOHN CARTER. Narrator Scott Brick brings to the production a wealth of experience with science fiction books that have long explicatory passages and many battles. As the first-person narrator to whom John Carter told his story, Brick recounts the adventures of the hero, who starts out as a prospector in Arizona. When John Carter is pursued by Apaches, he takes refuge in a cave, is overcome by a gas, and wakes up on Mars. Once there, he becomes one of the green Martian horde, falls in love with a princess, and hurls himself from one exploit to another. Brick’s introspective delivery adds dimension to this popular example of interplanetary pulp fiction. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
