Sinopsis

From the legendary master of adventure Edgar Rice Burroughs...

The book that launched a thousand imaginations, now in a fine new authorized edition!

John Carter is on the run. His prospecting partner is dead, and the killers are hot on his trail.

Seeking refuge in the rugged Arizona hills, John hides in a cave only to succumb to strange vapors. When he awakens, he finds himself far from his pursuers...and far from Earth-on the planet Barsoom, better known to us as Mars.

Enslaved by green-skinned warriors called Tharks, he soon meets his fellow prisoner-the stunningly beautiful Deja Thoris, a red Martian and Princess of Helium. John resolves to free them both, setting in motion events that will shape the destiny of Barsoom forever.

Embark on a saga of war, romance, and high adventure that spans the stars and recalls the age of mythic heroes in the first volume of Edgar Rice Burroughs' epic John Carter of Mars series.

Authorized by the Edgar Rice Burroughs Estate

Acerca del autor

Born in September of 1875 in Illinois, Edgar Rice Burroughs was an impressive author who left a significant legacy that still inspires authors to this day. He wrote widely, authoring at least 100 stories between 1911 and his death in 1950, in Encino, California after two divorces and raising three children. Burroughs wrote science fiction, fantasy, adventure, historical, westerns, and just about anything he could sell. His books inspired many films and television shows, breaking records and becoming best sellers in numerous categories. He incorporated himself before other authors even considered it, allowing him to protect his ideas even as Tarzan and his other characters became some of the most popular of the twentieth century, which continue to inspire many remakes. Burroughs made many comic strips of his characters, maintaining his popularity in many mediums. He also published with pulp magazines and serialized works, maintaining momentum and interest from many fans even as he alternated between different projects. Before becoming an author, Burroughs tried a bit of everything, everywhere, with differing levels of success, moving back and forth across the United States with his family, eventually settling for a while in what would later be known as Tarzana, CA. Burroughs was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2003.
